Okay, “I can’t believe” is the hangup it sounds like.

A clearer and hopefully more assertively positive phrase should have been “I refuse to believe…” as in, I know folks are exposed to these other methods. English, such a treat when you lose inflection and tone.

The rest of my post follows from my acknowledgement that ignorance is not at work.

I’m not sure what’s up with the rest of your reply but I promise, promise nobody is attacking anybody. If you feel attacked, that’s on you.

If you feel a powerful need to downplay indie game sales and play volume, I agree 100% that trad has won, is winning and will always win. Beyond that…honestly, I don’t understand your point at all.

Pro tip though: walls of text do not make your case stronger. Can you state it as a sentence?
