Original post is fairly detailed and very interesting. Obviously I don't like but I understand their assessment.
However I do find mildly dishonest using yesterday Linux player count. The LoL Linux community has been aware of vanguard and the coming end for weeks now, and many people myself included have already moved on leaving LoL behind.
An honest and frankly plain interesting figure would be the player count from a few months back. Just in lutris website theres a count of over 32 thousands player with the game in their library, plus all the other ways of playing it.
This seems like just a last bad faith move so that we convince ourselves that they are right and that we were pretty much being an unfair burden to them. It makes more sense to say 'Well we will deny service to 800 people because its not worth it' to say 'Well we will deny service to tens of thousands of people because its not worth it'.
Anyway, good riddance, already on better things myself.
Their data overall feels very cherrypicked
