Thats the number of players active playing on Steam, at a time chosen to be when the least number of players are likely to be playing, not daily numbers playing the game on steam.
OMG thank you so much for turning on your computersWe're up to 2425! I think we're going to be ok
How many times do I have to tell you, Ian? Do not confuse people with actual facts!
Seriously, I'm very disappoint...
This is all a bit 'Play Your Cards Right'

If you Report your original post you can ask the Mods to change the thread title to the more optimistic 'player numbers increasing! Game is gonna be fine!'
C'mon, you know you want to 
I don't play on Steam
Nice to see you, to see you nice.
I mused on this a bit the other day.
If someone wants to show how good something is, then naturally they pick the best examples. No-one really seems to have a problem with this.
However, if someone wishes to demonstrate something is maybe not so good, picking the worse examples is tantamount to treason or extreme bias.
Odd that.

It's not 2k daily users though. When will people finally understand Steamcharts?!
You are obviously right that the game has big issues, people aren't happy about it and if it would be better much more people would be playing it. Currently there are 5000 average concurrent players each day, if we assume they all play for 3 hour average (just an assumption) the game has something like 40000 daily users. Obviously the number is completely wrong, but it's much more correct than 2000. I hope you get the idea.
2803! That's up over 20% in the last few hours! This game must be so good! Everybody buy another copy!
1. Hourly concurrent != daily
2. The servers were offline for maintenance
3. Peak times are around 7pm UTC, not 8am UTC
Not really. If I was going to say that Odyssey is a huge success with 27000 concurrent players (the highest number ever achieved for Elite, 2x more than Horizons!) people would rightfully call me nuts.
If people claim the game is dead because it has 0 players during server maintenance people would also rightfully call me nuts.
Well it's doing better than Microsoft Flight Simulator.
20000+ avg at release. Now (less than a year later) under 5000 avg for the last 3 months.
Good job that's not being constantly updated......oh wait.

The steam numbers have been up 10% PER HOUR since the OP posted. At this rate EVERYONE IN THE WORLD will be playing by peak time! I hope they have enough servers
I don't give a tinker's about numbers either way. If I'm having fun, then I'm having fun. I could not care less about the opinions of others in that respect even if I'd spent 6 years getting a Master's Degree in "not caring" at Harvard.
The day I start giving a hoot about what others think about what I personally like is the day I'll suck start my Remington 870.
Reading Steamstats is very challenging for some. An influenzer needs to make a youtubes video "gold-farming guide to reading Steamstats" so that they can understand
