Is this the thread where deluded fanboys gather to reassure each other that steam trends do not in the slightest represent what's going on with the entire playerbase?

Yeah everyone knows that the game is dead lol these deluded whiteknights are hilarious.

May I ask why you bother hanging around here?

dota already had a very big population from the wc3 mod...it's not a fair comparison either to compare a new indie game to the sequel of a previously popular game. also, dota 2 requires steam

You know why MOBAs got popular?

Players are sick of FPS re-releases with graphic update, the last hood RTS games are ancient and every ARPG copies shitty MMORPG elements players hate.

That's why players play Mobas.
They are competive
They got RTS and ARPG elements.

The Mighty Quest For Epic Loot lost over 30% of its players in a week (comparing 1st and 2nd Sunday here)

Never heard of it.

"

Marvel Heroes lost like 70% of its players in a matter of 3 weeks. PoE seems to do a better job regarding player retention.

First off it's an MMORPG.
If I recall correctly this game is pay to win and you have to pay 150$ or 200$ for every Hero and the popular ones are pay to play only.
Only 2 of 5 of the Starter heros are farmiliar to me.


Imagine POE did something like: You can play Ranger, Maradeur and Witch. You must play 25$ for each Hybrid class.

Players would just say: "Fuck off"

i don't remember the exact number but i think chris said that 1/3rd of the playerbase is playing through steam,

He said half.

And those who believe that steam isn't representative should know how TV Ratings are calculated.
1 person represents 3000-5000 people depending on country and the ratings are pretty accurate.

If you randomly choose people and put them on a list and check if they play in 1 month you will see that most have left already.

Good games designed for long time play don't have got huge dropdowns.
Most games are designed in a way not to be of high replay value.
They are bought played and never played again.

It's a ubisoft game, and they've become a trash company pumping out p2w fremium games like a sewage pump. That it has anyone left is amazing....

Marvel heroes has a LOT more wrong with it then just this... far to much to begin to explain without writing a whole book... and while it doesn't desync like path of exile does when it does in midtown madness your screwed because rhino one shot kills everything up to the hulk and their desync makes it impossible to see or avoid. You have one side with heroes who die in like 2 shots and cannot do any real damage... and on the other side with immortal unkillable heroes that one shot kill entire screens to explain one issue.

Ubisoft...
More people pirate their games than buy them thanks to their malware.


The newest game by them I own is Resident Evil 4 and it's so poorly ported you must patch it to get shadows and then reverse it and inject your own code to be able to use your mouse to aim.


The last good games date back to 2002 and 2004 or earlier.....

Calling that PoE is doomed with the current Steamchart is pure propaganda. Don't think people are that stupid. Not me at least.

The Steam numbers are indicative of the trend since the game was officially released. Ignoring the numbers and calling them propaganda is short-sighted, because it is worthwhile to look into the reasons (as far as they are not the expected decrease after the newness has worn off) and improve the cause.

Linking web site statistics is silly and meaningless. Half of the vocal critics and a majority of the heavily posting trolls don't even play the game anymore. Using their forum activity as proof of popularity of the game, now that is what I would call propaganda.

We wouldn't have to wonder if GGG had not removed the /online command. I understand why people wonder why.

Anyway, I enjoy the game, but I understand why it remains a niche product.

Yes, quote one part of my post, then talk about what you didn't quote.

Don't you see that both graph are similar since release? And you say Alexa is irrelevant?

This isn't correct at all... All heroes in Marvel Heroes can be unlocked simply by playing the game... The only annoying thing that you probably need to pay for is stash tabs. Similar to this game in fact...

That being said, the game is somewhat pay to win with the different boosts you can purchase and the way you can put money into the game. But I've seen worse, and it's not an awful game. Had a lot of fun playing through the story a few times.

It's official. Steamgraph shows lowest playerbase since release. No sign of it slowing either as we're only halfway through the new leagues.
