The game itself is not Killer friendly so I tend to believe this is more of a reflection of players seeking a home. The same argument could be said for any category, that some games fall into certain categories for convenience sake, or as part of a desire to try on certain communities in a effort to see which ones meet their expectations, and which ones they have the most personal connections in. I think a true representation of these facts would get father if you compared the numbers with how many are still playing some of these games, or the length of time they actually stayed within the game, not just that they had played the game in the past.
