Blame gamergate but the real problem is at-will employment laws. "Under most circumstances, Washington is an at-will state, which means that either the employer or the employee can end the employment relationship at any time, with or without notice and with our without cause." people get fired for dumber poo poo all the time. I've seen it in my own job. This one was way more justified than so many other firings, and you can't do poo poo about it unless you can prove your employer discrimated, which good luck lol

There's zero reason to split things up like this unless you want to give legitimacy to what happened.

So a bug in the system let people pull real player numbers from Steam's API. This shows the number of people who have ever launched all games that have achievements. This is the closest thing we'll probably ever have to a broad view of overall Steam sales numbers: https://arstechnica.com/gaming/2018/07/steam-data-leak-reveals-precise-player-count-for-thousands-of-games/ There's a link to a csv file with the whole list. Go find your favorites and marvel at how little they've sold!

Relax Or DIE posted:Does that include people who played during the free beta periods/weekends? Presumably yes. It's the total number of people who launched the steam app, whether they paid for it or not. Edit: Protip, Notepad++ handles the list better than notepad.

This is the closest thing we'll probably ever have to a broad view of overall Steam sales numbers: Some of these top games are going to have skewed numbers as well due to free to play weekends or going free to play period. I wonder how these numbers match up to their console counterparts because I have a feeling they pale in comparison.

Yeah, keep in mind that the list wont take into account free weekends or games that switched from paid to F2P, the list just reports that single stat: accounts that launched the steam app.code:

Hitman 2016 flopped bigly on pc probably due to the terrible episodic release and messaging around that

Oh, also many of these games are crossplatform and could be tearing rear end on Switch even if PC numbers look garbage or whatever. Just be wary of the numbers, but it's still the best snapshot of the PC games industry we'll ever get.

Going through the low end of the list is like falling into some bizarro dimension filled with games featured on episodes of CSI. On the other hand, the top end has a game called Unturned which I've never heard of until now?

It's a good confirmation that the gaming public writ large, on PC, absolutely loves free to play games with loot boxes

Zestiria has been opened by twice as many people as Berseria. Ys VIII has only been opened by under 9000 people. Next lowest Ys game is SEVEN at 11,500. I can't seem to find Origins. Also hi to the 34 developers that have opened Celceta before it's PC launch. I ordered it by name and I look up and see that Youtubers Life has been opened by more people than everything I've mentioned combined (and including the Ys games I didn't mention). This is fun. Chrono Trigger has 20,000 people. Lowest open numbers for the listed final fantasy games is The After Years, even under final fantasy V. The highest is still FFVII (XV has about half a million). XIII is the second highest. Phantasium fucked around with this message at 22:53 on Jul 6, 2018 |
