just doom preachers...and makeing a fuss cause theyr game got hit from other game success
Oh Hamburgers! ... (or Turnips)
Steam? People actually read that fluff? I remember buying a couple games off of there, turned steam off and play offline.

You sound salty.
How was I rude ?
I said go read the OP which is about the steam numbers. We are not talking about consoles. They are irrelevant for PC because they don't share the same servers.
Do you not understand the OP ? OP is concerned about the health of the population on PC.
That's it, not hard to understand.

as one other poster indicated op is just a doom preacher: https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showthread.php?t=8157&page=121&p=1617126&viewfull=1#post1617126
What's also not hard to understand is that the Steam stats do not paint the entire picture, despite what you doubters and doomsayers have to say. And Frontier themselves seem happy with it (from the latest interim report I previously cited - my emphasis):
We don't know the actual numbers, Frontier do. The OP was a troll post, and this feeding has gone on long enough IMO.

so what they are valid concerns.

I'd rather boil my eyes than sign up to steam, so not one of my 8wks, 14 hrs & 28 minutes of gameplay has ever been logged to steam.
One of the ED updates temporarily broke Oculus support ingame, was forced to use Steam to get it working, was like a having a virus on my machine, couldn't wait to ditch it. This forum took a huge dive once FD started selling the game on Steam.
Is there a cunning plan associated with them?
My post... the one you seem to have some difficulty or issues with... was in direct reply to someone else and not the OP.
Personally, I couldn't give two large brown piles about your predictions of doom over Steam stats... like most stats, they mean diddly squat unless you want to read something or other out of context from them.
You know after reading this thread I started to wonder, and I can't remember a time when just a couple of weeks or so before the next Update things weren't quiet. Just about with every update I can remember has this effect.

Apparently diddly diddly squats out of diddly squat say that on average diddly squat are actually diddly squat instead!

No my Lord, just some mud and bits of worms.

Just be aware you are comparing Elite to established games, Elite has been out 2 years, and is hardly established heck the whole space genre has only slowly been gaining 'general' popularity of late.
So yeah.....i'm not sure what you mean by stagnation, especially again because steamspy isn't perfect, could it be better, sure, but stagnent? I don't think so.
Maybe instead you should read the previous posts about steamspy, and instead of comparing elite to well established games, compare it to newer, games of the same genre, a genre, that is not a main stream genre of late. Just you know, to get some actual comparing done.
Find games within the space/sim genre, 2 years of age or so?
Because your comparison right there is like saying
"More people are drinking coffee rather then this new brand of drink that came out a few years ago, and hasn't really been gaining consumers, this new drink must be dying." despite it gaining slowly and steadily, and at worst, holds the same amount of interest as at release?
And no I'm not saying Elite is perfect or couldn't be doing better, the only thing I am saying is "Elite is doing fine for what it is, and is most definitely not deserving the doom and gloom posts it gets."

Is it because I is a steam user? Coz, y'know, they're all the same, innit? Just like anyone from any particular race is the same, or religion, or background, or area, or sexual orientation, innit brah?
Really? What is that? Is it some kind of vent for a prejudice that society no longer accepts, so you direct it at steam users? Apologies for singling just you two out, I could have picked any number of posters from this thread, but the vitriol is beyond me, completely.
Don't take it personally ;-) I have a lot of friends that use Steam for Assetto. It would be rediculous to claim that all Steam users are the same, on the flip side there's no denying that it attracts a certain type of gamer, it is literally the fast food joint of gaming - You only need to spend a small amount of time on the forums to see that.
What do I think of Steam itself? I'd get a ban if I typed it here.. On the plus side I found the support staff to be excellent.

What are you 12?
Nice to see someone got my reference.
Personally, I would prefer Haggis, Tatties, and a wee dram of Scotch to go with the Turnips... with the Hamburgers, Freedom Fries and HP Fruity Sauce would be nice
While the above is off-topic, it as about as relevant to ED popularity as the Steam stats some are throwing around like god's written word.
