Okay, so.. what metrics are you using to conclude that Stray is bigger than Balastro?

Player count on TA before Balatro was added to Game Pass.

Wayback Machine can help here. Sadly the site was only captured mid 2024 but I roughly remember the player count for Balatro before it came to Game Pass. Roughly 4 times less than Stray.

So, let me see if I understand this, you don't want to use data that we can see updated on real time because you have more trust on a data from half a year ago..?

Okay, let me give you another bit of "useless" info:

At this exact moment Balatro is on the Steam top 100 best seller games worldwide, and it has been there for the past 15 weeks, and Stray is nowhere to be found.

Look, even if we concede that Stray was bigger at some point, the truth is nobody is playing it anymore, so I think investing in a game nobody is playing instead of a game that clearly people are still playing daily, would be a weird decision.
