This summary is quite far from the truth. You are using cherry-picked, manipulated data to prove esoteric facts, fairy magic, and Dracula all in one.
You make arbitrary claims such as "PF will be more fondly remembered in future than DOS" but at the same time disregard that, in fact, people who are playing DOS, DAO and PoE today are considerably more satisfied than those who are playing PF.
Then in the same statement, you discredit polls, reviews and reputable testimonials from a sample size of thousands, to post a poll of a sample size of 50 here in the temple of Owlcat as valid evidence of anything at all.
Because you refuse to accept crushing evidence to stick to your chosen fallacy, you have become blinded by it, and the exasperation is causing you to become irritated, hostile and insulting, which contradicts the "neutral" semblance you want to sell.
It's not fooling anyone, as you desperately attempt to crawl back with that post, in which you try to sound more docile as you see the walls falling upon you.
The main factor on whether a game, a movie, a plate of food, a pharmacy, or a taxi driver are of better or worse quality compared to its peers is the collective opinions of everyone who consumed the service. A taxi in the center London will be used three million times more than a Taxi in the outskirts, but if in average the taxi in the center has worse score, then the Taxi in the outskirts is generally better, period. The fact that the Taxi in London took advantage of a better marketing strategy, PR, or timing, does not change the fact that something is better then a greater percent of customers decide it is better. There would be room for wriggling if it was a 2-3% difference, but none when it is a massive, soul-crushing 10-20 point difference.
I browsed through countless respectable games sites that have made lists of the 10-50 best games of the decade (Forbes, Rock Paper Shotgun, IGN, WhatCulture, GameRant, just to mention a few) and to no surprise of mine, PoE, DAO and DOS are commonly in the top 10, DOS2, all three of them
always on top of Pathfinder, that barely is even remembered as an existing game.
If you can't get that into your head it's nobody's problem.
Follow your chosen fallacy, I'm done educating here.
