Comment Inflated Numbers Drive Me Nuts (Score 1) 52

Blizzard always refers to "X Million Players". In reality, they count players as box sales and users in China/Korea/etc who used game pubs and log in once (this is a LOT). The number people are truly interested in are "Subscribers", which would be people actively playing the game. Of course that number is no where near as impressive as the number of people who have ever tried it so they put their PR spin on it and dub it "X Number of Players". Really irks me.
