Some thoughts on Player Count

What's the reasoning behind not putting the game on steam?...

You kind of answered your own question. If they put it on steam and people are turned away for whatever reason, it's much harder to get those players back when the reasons are amended.

Yep, realize that now lol

Pretty sure it's more to do with the fact that you have to implement steam support into your game, which is quite some extra work.

and with the mining update that fasttracked months of work

Oh what's that you say, a 3 day rollback would have ended up with a better long term result than fast forwarding metal progression months ahead? Gee If only someone had mentioned this at the time!

It's another thing that makes the game chore simulator rather than a game.

It's also more a vulnerabletor than a game - player numbers prove that

Would have been much better off, made mining towns have far less of an edge in trading, normalizing q100+ ore just ain't right. fast track world 9 imo

It's a decent looking player count today, better than usual anyways but maybe that's just due to the free play time. Unfortunately however the forum does not match that level of activity.

How many of those are bots, given the recent temporary removal of playtime restrictions?

Doesn't it show only unique ips?
