I have already refuted all your claims. TF2 numbers will drop precipitously again in a couple weeks or when the game of the month comes out. Valve cannot make a large patch like this every month. You can see the same trend in the graph for the Halloween update.
I am done replying to you because all I am doing now pasting bite sized chunks of what I already wrote because you are selectively ignoring anyone that disagrees with you.
