The number is based on the 10% of Steam accounts visible publicly. And then they calculated based on current full retail price of the unplayed games. It's a nonsense figure.

Is Skullgirls still alive? Is there much of a player base?
To get serious for a second though: this is real and legit. You can find real happiness in the community that comes with a niche fandom.
It's covered in this podcast if you're interested: The Happiness Lab with Dr Laurie Santos - Nerd Out! The Happiness of being a Fan.
Starvation and homelessness are quite powerful motivators.
Where can I buy this guy's outfit?
Dude, I'd love to get a group going for this and make it happen; but honestly I don't play Overwatch anymore and it's difficult to make time for multiplayer games anymore with kids and busy work. I only get a chance to play a bit of Street fighter 6 and some quick single player games.
I don't bother communicating. I just play silently and usually mute the chat if it is toxic. Even games like overwatch worked out ok playing without communicating.
The only time I had a decent experience playing with strangers was when I found specific gaming subs or Discord communities (e.g. casual gaming, gaming dads, etc) and played in a Discord voice channel. This was actually a really good experience in games like Street fighter or Apex legends. I could do dumb shit in game and they'd be completely chill and say "it happens" and carry on to the next game. Haven't done this for the last couple of years though.
8 ads? So the funeral only lasted 5 min?
I'm not religious at all. But in responding to your question OP: we don't have to understand why people believe. Religion just isn't for us, and that's fine. Other people find it has value, and that's fine too. The fact that religion has lasted this long with this many people is proof in itself that there's some value people get out of it. We don't have to get it to understand that.
All the comments here that explain religion solely as dumb or irrational are just as closed minded as the people they're criticising.
The fact that there are so many well functioning options for a DE that this can be an argument, is such a great thing.
I have no idea what I've missed.... Till I go to someone's house and watch raw YouTube and it's unbearable.
Most people online seem to feel quite strongly about it.
I'm quite strongly against it. I was really happy that my Nintendo Switch Hori controller didn't have rumble, because then I didn't have to bother turning it off in every game.
But then again I'm odd with a lot of things. I see no difference between 60Hz refresh and 120 Hz. High end speakers mean nothing to me. Movies are all the same to me in 4K or high quality 1080p. High settings in games add nothing for me over medium graphical settings. It works out really well for me. I can buy cheap electronics that I really enjoy.
