Imagine taking Daniel Ahmed seriously. That dude literally leaked PUBG's release date for the PS4 version just to get some "clout". I'd take two grains of salt and pepper before reading into his interpretations of the market.
He's is constantly wrong and was called out on it before.
The reason why he's so big at Era was he got some news first from some chinese outlets before the mainstream gaming media got it, but it was public anyone could access, and artificially pumped himself as an insider and tried to attack Neogaf during the "incident" that they were wrong for banning him and a bunch of insults and etc.
Then not two days after the Incident, when the Incident in 2017 HAPPENED, right when IT HAPPENED, he was one of the first few guys that threw
EviLore
under the bus immediately, THE SECOND the threads were popping up and being deleted, and claimed that he had proof that Evilore was guilty, and that is what caused all those users to snap into insanity when they didn't hear anything after the first 24hrs, and then he deleted those tweets and kept spewing that shit in the side chat about how Evilore was not responding because he was arrested and tried, but then that chat of course, vanished as well.
It's the reason why Era puts him so high and why he's an Admin on the site since day 1. But he's entirely fake, he never knows what he's talking about, he'll try and pass niche news that no ones heard, but is public, as some proof he's an insider, his predictions are worse than Matt NPD, and to be honest there's something screwy going on there as well. There's a reason why almost all the devs that used to be on Gaf don't come back, some have directly called Zhuge out even recently. The only devs going to Era, which are rare, is either SJW devs, or Devs trying to control PR and spreading of misinformation.
