[PoE] ALL League Statistics of playerbase?

Again, why they are not revealing on how many people are ONLINE in "live mode" ?
Why not to give this info out in the open for plebs?

If you can't answer this yourself why ask for statistics to analyze?

Who the hell is talking about "analyze" mate?
People surely want to know how many fucking people playing the game they love

They have little to gain from making that openly available, and quite a bit to lose. The angry hive mind will see any dip in current players online as a sky is falling moment. The times when it is healthy no one will say anything and be like: "The sky isn't falling!". Gamers are a fickle crowd and searching for something to serve whatever bias they have, including those who no longer play the game but for some odd reason have an axe to grind on the forums.


Name one thing GGG could stand to benefit from doing such a thing that is measurably better than what they risk by exposing such information.

You can indirectly get these numbers from labyrinth ladders.
Assuming that percentage of lab runners are the same on each league we can calculate playerbase distribution. At least approximate.
So:
Standard_______282
Bestiary_______470
Flashback______1165*
Standard+SSF___2
Bestiary+SSF___8
Flashback+SSF__90*

I don't include HC leagues, because probably they have much less percentage of uberlab runners.

*Also I think Flashback numbers are inflated, because many players run lab for Ascendancy and are not usual lab farmers. So we should wait at least week I suppose to get more accurate distribution.

No i don't want to know. Because, i love the game.

Is Steam Charts not enough? At some point statistics end up being the same no matter how much bigger the sample size gets, and I seriously doubt there's enough people using the standalone client for Steam Charts to be that far off of player trends. It's likely missing a few thousand players but no more than that.

Anyway all Steam charts showed is Bestiary months have had more players on average than Abyss months did. Weird behavior for a dead game
