Remember for the people who worship the dumb Steamcharts we are only seeing 1/4 the picture. We have players like me Who who don't use Steam to play Elite Dangerous. We also have PS4 and Xbox So that 4 different ways to play Elite Dangerous.
Its worse than that. The game was £5. If you want to win the argument badly enough then spend £5 as many times as makes you happy and then log in with them for a bit. People do it, im not pointing any fingers but it does happen.![]()
I guess what I’m suggesting is “$15 for the full game” might be a tipping point in a way that none of the other sales have been.Yes, but someone who isn't interested in the game wouldn't even buy it for €5. Someone who is only slightly interested might buy it for €15 while someone who is slightly more interested might buy it for €25. I'd guess that interest and price level each other out. Meaning that the amount of people who buy it would be roughly the same for each sale, simply because there are less and less people interested who didn't already buy it. A huge amount of recent sales are probably also 2nd and 3rd accounts. So why should the number of new players suddenly be drastically different from the other sales?

Well rumor is that 3/4 of the player base is going to quit the game unless the ADS is brought back, so
Hide your daughters, hide your wives.
Hide your steamcharts and stay inside,
Here comes FSS.
If I had the time, I'd find all the "high numbers after an update mean nothing" quotes on the No Man's Sky thread and post them here, not because I'm anti-ED, but rather because anyone who uses one standard for their beloved game and another for their "I don't like it game" should be the ones eating their sock.
That's not directed at you, OP, just a general observation.
BTW, the only numbers that matter to me are PS4 numbers![]()
FDev thanks you for increasing their playerbase by 1 throughout the day, for both Steam and overall stats.So does idling in the main menu count for active users in the steam charts?
I did that most of all day, yesterday.
Leaving the launcher open counts as playing on steam at last check. My steam hours are exponentially greater than my actual in game time.So does idling in the main menu count for active users in the steam charts?

thx for info, I'll have to add my voice to steamcharts = unreliable numbers.Leaving the launcher open counts as playing on steam at last check. My steam hours are exponentially greater than my actual in game time.
But the games dead?
Did I come to the wrong place?
No sorry I need to go write an open letter.....
Dear Fdev,
Being unable to view a scale model of my house in the sol system is game breaking, when will you answer the players calls?
