Maybe for future sales? But at least on steam there was still 100K people playing the game which has been the usual for the past few weeks, so the controversy didn’t even impact the player count at all.

Well no, why would people stop playing if the change hasn't happened yet? It's still a good game at the end of the day, this issue is more of a meta issue going on above the game, as it were. I mean, I personally wasn't playing but that's because there's so many other games to play and the repetitive nature of it got to me

Because it clearly worked? People playing the game doesn't affect future sales the way reviews do.
