I'm failing to see what your point is. I've never mentioned anything about retention rates.

Which is even more astonishing.

So, as a world-wide game, launching in every corner of the world, Chinese players/numbers shouldn't be taken into account because...? They had their own client in PoE 1?

I guess we are two halfwits here, failing to see each others points. Bless us.

People who're comparing PoE 1 numbers to PoE 2 numbers are unaware of the situation, that's the point.
