Regular measurements of ED stats show player login at very different times and actually are very spread out over whole week. There's estimate about 100k players playing on weekly basis on PC alone.

Also Milky Way galaxy is just huge.

that would explain why the participant count from CGs are always so low, someone would expect it would be much higher if those 2.75 Mio would play the game [big grin]

Please prove what you are saying: mostly interested in the 100K players (which is 10% of units sold).

Also: no one is doubtfull about Fd being in an healthy situation and, trust me, I am very happy for all the workers there and of course for their Ceo, DB.

What I am saying is that there is no correlation beetwen copies sold and game's health. And, especially about this second poitn, that the trend of player playing is quite going down at least judging by steam charts and what I read here in the forum.

It would be nice if Db showed somethin that concern this community (game improvment) instead that something about FD.

Closing just saying that selling so many copies of a game is a very great goal and without doubt they have reason to be proud.

I am happy for them: much less than me...

Good figures. I thought P.C would be more than 1 million unit though....

Frontier can't expand the player base by porting to new platforms, now they have to improve the game play in order to attract new players.

ED sold 2.75 million copies in total, 1.000.000 on steam and ~ 100.000 players are actively playing on steam (logging in more than once in 2 weeks), which is quite healthy and comparable to other MMOs when we talk about active players / sold units.
The 4000 people you talk about are just those who are currently online, you need to understand that not everyone who plays the game is running it 24/7. I know, it sounds crazy.

BTW I am pretty sure that I explained that to you before.

While I am not the bringer of the Truth but:

Peak concurrent players yesterday: 5,541

= 5541*14=

Players in the last 2 weeks: 77,698 ± 7,622 (7.29%)

At the end:

Ed is played usually by 5500 players.

Unless I am reading something wrong here - which could be - 5500 player is almost coherent with steamchart result

And from a game who has sold so many copies that should be a truly alarm sign to Fd: in my opinion it reflects player leaving the game for reason are well known

Apologies for going off topic a bit.

yes Babelfish: I have read it in your last post.

I don't trust your assumptions in the math here, however I do believe that over 5k concurrent players on one outlet for one platform on a Monday is actually pretty good.

That might just be me though.

No, you don't understand. 5500 was the amount of concurrent players (=players being online at the same time at a specific moment), 80.000 are unique players which played the game at least once during the last two weeks = current active player base on one platform. The real numbers are more close to 200.000-300.000 (estimated) active players.

Additionally, this is a game without a subscription model, allowing a casual play style unusual to MMOs. Closer to big updates, I'm sure the number of players doubles.

Additionally, SteamSpy only reflects players that actually use Steam to launch the game (and there's no requirement to) - indeed, XB1 and PS4 players are completely missing from the SteamSpy numbers, along with an unknown number of PC/Mac players.

I haven't used Steam since the 1st week I bought the base Elite on there 2 years ago, and realized I didn't need Steam running to play Elite.

My copy of Horizons is from the Froniter store, and has no Steam connection whatsoever.

And devs not rely on regular subs and they scale their infrastructure and thus save lot of costs during silent periods.

That's like FD have actually planned this. I know, shocker.
