The simplest proof is selling RTwP games vs selling Divinity 2. According to steamspy, divinity sold at least as well as PoE1, PoE2 and Pathfinder combined. DoS2: between 2-5 million Pathfinder: between 500-1mln PoE2: between 500-1 million PoE1: between 1-2 million
Sales of PoE2 were so bad that to save the game, they had to implement turn-based mode. So the turns sell much better.
