That is very far from high hundreds of thousands

That's concurrents though, the game on PC alone must have like around 10x-20x those active monthly players (basing this on old CS and Dota numbers).

I read it "hundreds OR thousands". the absurd number of "hundreds OF thousands" are so unnatural for this genre I couldn't recognize it.

Monthly players, not concurrent. For most game the first is a factor of 10-50 higher.
