Verifikation
Plausibel
PLAUSIBLE. German gaming participation has grown modestly, consistent with Ball's "four players per hundred" framing. The exact figure requires ISFE or game-Verband data that isn't freely available, but the direction (modest growth) is supported. Ball's framing ("only four") presents growth as disappointing, which is an interpretive choice — 4pp over 8 years could also be read as healthy organic growth in a mature market.
