Whose idea was it to have the 2 initial pie graphs switch colors? It makes it look like there's some sort of inverse relationship between pirating and purchasing on a given platform, when in fact it's roughly the same proportion of pirates and purchasers on mobile and PC.

- Rumudiez 11y agoTheir analysis doesn't match up with the pie graphs either until you look up pricing. Punch Club costs $9.99 on Steam but only $4.99 on iOS, so the volume of sales in terms of units sold realizes about a 50/50 split between PC and mobile legitimate players, rather than the implied 70/30 indicated by revenue. NOW their analysis makes sense (more PC pirates than mobile). If the colors of the graph actually matched I would have just assumed their text was wrong! ...unless, of course, the piracy chart is in the same relative terms of cost and instead portrays _lost_ revenue...
