"we started with a score of 70, but now it’s 79. If you filter those who have played 10 hours or more, the score is 85 –so the more you play the more enjoyment you feel."

Lying with statistics 101. It's obviously impossible that people who didn't enjoy the game played less than 10 hours

he also stated that _overall_ score that includes everyone went from 70 to 79.

Maybe lying is the wrong word. But the conclusion that "the longer you play the more you enjoy the game" is very misleading.
