As Splash Damage is trying to make Dirty Bomb to be the next best PC FPS game and be profitable, I thought these statistics were interesting to see the popularity over time as large player bases can in turn bring $$ and longevity.
I want Dirty Bomb to be a game that can be popular for years to come
