The problem is obvious: Perhaps it is the truth.
Serious gamers are extremely discriminating.
Elite Dangerous players, even vets, have been warning about depth of content, and especially missions, for months - and virtually *nothing* was done - we received PowerPlay.
If the Steam players are critical of the game - then perhaps, to many people, it is not yet a good game.
Face the truth.

Really? What's your source of that?

Also FD falsely placed the Steam tag "Single player" on ED. I saw a thread asking about reporting that abuse to Steam but soon after, it had been deleted.

This is nonsense. Before the recent price cut sales were very poor. Even now with the price cut by 25% ED is not in the top ten.
I'm modding on Steam daily (And I'm not the only one!)
Sorry it's not to everyone's liking.
We love you Jenner <3
I am a gamer, I have played out the games I really enjoy . So I am "in between" good games. I never said playing ED was a god awful miserable experience, it just isn't particularly good. So far my experience has been as follows.
I got a new game and as a gamer I know it is going to have a grind to it. All games have a grind, I except this fact and move on. I grind for a while (trade route) and I get a Vulture, and get it class A equipped. So I am like ok I am good now, I got the grind out of the way ahead of time, now lets get to the gameplay. I hit some conflict zones, do some bounty hunting, it is ok, just ok and I decide well the CZ's are ok, not particularly challenging but ok and the bounty hunting is easy pickings but it is still kind of grindy so I decide well I will go for a Python, maybe after I get a Python I will be able to do some harder more interesting content as usually games have progression, harder contet the higher the level or the more geared you are. So I grind out a Python in a mix of conflict zones and trading and I get it equipped nicely and I go looking for the hard stuff..... It just isn't there. So yes I have a lot of in game hours and yes I have never left the game going "wow that was awesome" or man that is a great game. I feel like it is OK. I do feel mislead with game being advertised as an MMO when everyone plays it on solo and the universe is barren of players, only NPC's.
That my friend is how one can play 400 hours and not particularly like a game. I understand if your a more casual gamer and play a game 2 hours a week. 400 hours could seem like a lifetime worth of game play. Also I don't as in rarely close the background application. So I may have a coffee in the morning and run a trade route a couple times, save and exit then the next morning I look and the game is open in the background all the while the steam game hours are tick tick ticking along. Well I will put it this way, I am a gamer and I do play a lot but the steam counter is showing 400+ hours for me and I haven't had the game a month yet, 2 days shy of a month to be exact so I have racked up a few hours but 400 I don't think so .
So what about a negative review from someone that only played the game 1 hour, you would say they didn't even give the game a chance. Maybe look at the list of games on the reviewers profile and see how many games they have played and maybe if they are into a certain genre or not and using that to credit or discredit the review instead of just number of hours.

Looks like zealous moderation has recently affected the Steam forums.

Look at all the locked threads all of a sudden, and the users questioning why the threads are being locked.

too many hands with fingers pointing down. This is not good.

I'm more surprised people heed the steam forums and their recommendations. I always do it externally to steam. I would not buy a game on its recommendation and their forums are akin to a borstal nursery. With anything you purchase, it is advisable to check a number of sources and not just because some fat bloke down the pub told me to.
Furthermore there is a certain demographic, upon whose advice or recommendations; I'd think entirely the opposite. People love Harleys, but I wouldn't be seen dead on one.

Witcher 3Thats not really true, week on week, Witcher 3 is above ED... as it is above right now and has only really been below when ED was on Sale. Witcher 3 still has more daily players, and Witcher 3 has had more than double the PC sales figures of ED. In fact there are 43 games played more (daily) than ED ranging from Skyrim and GTA V to Counter Strike Source and Europa Universalis IV.
Cannot really infer much from any of that. You can infer good from the fact it has 'mostly positive' reviews though
Release 19.05
two weeks later:
09.06.2015 4 Millionen Units sold.
You know, the Witcher 3 is DRM free!
You see on Steam only the Steam players with Steam Online. No Retailversion, no GoG, no Steam offline Players
Indeed and one of the things I like about steam forums in general, is that its a little easier to speak ones mind. Still, no doubt a lil bit of moderation and developer involvement would help. Then again, many games fully released on steam only use that as their forum system.
