WotC fraudulent Twitch numbers...
The lies of WotC and the ignorance... Twitch only had 1 RPG non-video game category that people would use and Twitch staff member DJWheat and AnnaProsser told everyone to use D&D category for them even though White Wolf games all had categories thanks to OnyxPath Publishing, but with all that being the case and EVERY RPG stream fell in the D&D category for lack of enforcing proper categorization on Twitch and lack of having a "Tabletop RPGs" category until Sept 27th, 2018... look at this lie.

Quote:
In 2017 alone, we had more than 7,500 unique broadcasters streaming live play D&D, for more than 475 million minutes watched over the course of the entire year,” Greg Tito, Senior Communications Manager for D&D, told SyFy.com in an interview.
no Greg, half the streams were Pathfinder... so Paizo gets a big chunk of that number in your fraud. and other percentages were Stars Without Numbers, Vampire the Masquerade, Numenera, etc... all which have had their own categories long before Pathfinder got on. So claiming D&D by those numbers is nothing but fraud. I said it when it began and the reason they wouldn't add or clean out categories, and now the fraud is true.
with every RPG in the D&D category, and many video games that arent even related to RPGs like: PUBG, Rocket League, League of Legends, World of Warcraft; well. anyone that knows Twitch knows Greg's statements are a lie, because it is impossible to sort out all the streams and those numbers are obviously fictitious based solely on people putting random streams in D&D category.
At least the FG usage numbers are based on real data that was required to known which "ruleset" it was loading. That would have been a better and less fraudulent number than the streams on Twitch in the D&D category... I think that chart even had LARGER numbers for D&D than just 7500 unique users, and it included non-5e D&D games also.
