    “Copies sold” is a much better measure

    It bugs me when GW2 also does this with “over 12 million players” when actually it’s registered accounts.

    I know people who have and use multiple POF accounts obtained freely, including a guy who literally has 83 accounts and uses them all every reset.

      I think they include Game Pass players as well. So it sold probably less then 40 million, therefore they go with the “Players”.

      Definitely. I was being sarcastic, not trying to defend the wording.
