Yeah, I'm not including a detailed explanation for an idiot who cant read statistics and makes up silly numbers of players with no evidence. You don't really think you're worth that kind of time, do you?
You clearly have no idea how networks and servers work. Someone would have to make an API that responds with the number of active connected users, and leave that open with no authentication, or return it unencrypted for people to snoop on. No one, especially big game developers, are that stupid.
You don’t know what you’re talking about.
