Steamchart - doesnt look too healthy?! :/

There's propably more people like me, who doesn't use Steam. I've never used it and never had any reason to use it. When I play game(s), I only dedicate my time for one game, which in this case is PoE. And I prefer hard copies over digital stuff, but that's not possible in this PoE case.

But that doesn't make the Steam graph change in any way tho

Almost every. Except for the ones that don't. GGG can rationalize this all they want, but that is potential $$$ that is fleeing from the game. If they aren't worried, they damn-well should be. They can correct this, tho.

Step one? Listen to the fucking fans who have been here telling them how to fix this shit all along.
Fix desync.
Stop making trade the only solution.
Fix shit that is currently broken instead of giving us new broken shit.

That graph is blank for me. And I did include the modifier "almost."

Desync is not going to be fixed, gonna have to get over it or move on. Trade being the only solution? I agree 100% that that should be changed.

The graph was for Team Fortress 2

More than 50 percent of steam players haven't even got past normal Brutus and just over a third have beaten Act 1 normal. They seem to just try out the game and then stop playing. This should be a bit concerning that more than half the people that try the game can't be bothered to play more than an hour or two before quitting.



Possibly some try the game on steam and then just use the non-steam client afterwards but still.

And those are the top 2 achievements completed. The other 50 achievements have an even lower completion rate.

1. People burn themselves out with the game but they usually come back with the next big update.

2. People like me uninstalled the Steam client in favour of the standalone one because Steam feels the need to d/c every 5 mins making it especially frustrating when you pay 3 chaos for a Lvl 77-78 map run only to d/c at the start of every run. I have had very few d/cing problems since switching to the standalone version. The Steam version also loads 1000x slower, needs to download the entire game again for every patch, and the 5000 steam popups and windows take up unnecessary memory.

I'd estimate it's about 50/50 (at max 40/60) between players that play POE using steam and those that play without. Hopefully the numbers keep dropping so we can see some good changes.

Unless we hear otherwise from GGG, you have to assume that the steam numbers are correct/close. Look at the top games currently:

http://store.steampowered.com/stats/

POE is still in the top 25, but look at the rest. They're all older games (dayz aside, but that will fall soon I'm sure) and a mix of f2p and paid games. TF2, warframe, hell even war thunder is holding numbers way better than POE. We would be silly to think that these numbers mean nothing. It's obvious that POE isn't exactly growing in leaps and bounds.

POE can get all the goty awards it wants, but if it's just not accessible for a good amount of people, they're not going to survive. I wonder if many of the supporters would still support POE as it is today. I know I'd think twice given the chance.

i can tell you this is all becouse of the trade system failing

Well some of those games are bought for the story, so many people beat it once and leave it. Or are any of those games MMO that are supposed to last 10 years? Stupidity and denial at it's finest.
