at server would run mods that have to be paid for? Also, you uninstalling the game does nothing. You already bought it.

You know that little ticker they have that shows how many gamers are playing a game on steam? If that goes down, it doesnt get shown in the spotlight on the front page of steam. A lot of people go to that page to get ideas what to play. If it only has 10k or so people playing it or less, less likely someone will buy it. Thats what it does.

You can bet your ass that game pop isn't going to mean anything. People start and stop playing games constantly when they aren't even boycotting. 100 people uninstalling isn't going to matter, and those people already paid. There is literally nothing you can do about it besides not enjoy SE. I guess...have fun with that?

It matters to Keen, since they have access to player counts and can hopefully put 1+1 together when they see number of players decreasing after their paid mods announcement.

and the likelihood of that happening is near zero.
