How do you figure that? As of right now, PCU numbers are 2K higher for the same time last week, and are dead even with the week before.
Additionally, kills are up about 12% relative to the week before the blackout. Similarly, the total kills the first weekend of the blackout were up a similar amount relative to the average of the weekend kill totals for the previous two months.
While we’ll need a few weeks of blackout data for any credible trend to appear, based on what little data we have, your claim is unsubstantiated.
