Agreed, the game is already super impressive as is, in my opinion putting numbers like these in the spotlight can be counterproductive since they can create unreasonable expectations. On the other hand, I've seen a couple pages use these numbers to headline articles about the game, so maybe it helps the game reach even more players. It could go well, it could go not so well, or maybe it doesn't even make a difference, I guess only time will tell if it was a good decision.
