[quote=farnsworth;328962]why do people always think there’s only 4k players? The steam stats page shows between 3.5k and 4k players at the same time.
So, assuming that those 4k players aren’t some no-life zombies who play the game 24/7 (which i think is a fair assumption), there have to be a lot more than 4000 pc players, don’t you think?[/quote]
There was only 4072 people online today at its peak; yes, you can assume there were different players throughout the day, but if it’s only 4k people at a peak hour that’s pretty weak and not a real healthy or thriving community when compared to other games (long lasting communities are great, but it isn’t fun to play the same team/players day in and day out) in my opinion. Heck Killing Floor almost has as many people online right now and that wasn’t even released in stores (at least I’ve never seen a disc for it in Gamestop/Best Buy/etc).
It isn’t doom and gloom when the number has only been close to TF2, CS:S/CS, and CoD for a couple of days; that’s just being realistic and seeing that the player number continuously drops every day.
