If they wanted to make d4 worse then yeah they could probably make it more like d2

D4 probably owns them all tho so they can fudge the numbers too make there game look alive or definitely paying them off, some how there foot is in the door

How can you estimate prvate service activity, and we were told countless times - it is casual audience mostly. Clearly casual audience don't hangout on twich, youtube and so on. What are sources of that info then?

Here is info from steam:

"Steam player count for Diablo® IV is currently 3475 players live. Diablo® IV had an all-time peak of 28836 concurrent players on 25 November 2023."

If blizzard decided to move to steam and got only 3.5k daily players there, well, it clearly shows something.

If you want to just use steam poes is 5k now why's that so small like d4s?

This just reminds reviews on release from gaming sites - it was all somewhere near 9/10. But on release it was clearly almost for everyone it is not even close to 9/10, so they just got paied for those reviews, lol. Can you imagine that?

Because the game is available on so many platforms and you'd have to gather them all together omg I wish a site would

As I said, blizzard main platform is private, this means steam numbers here are not something to use as a raw data. Still they reached not that much people there compared to scale we are talking about.

I don't see point to compare it to poe, it is just different league.

Also using steam is a massive joke to compare d4 player base, the game wasn't released on steam for about 3 months after launch. You could use this for last epoch because it's the only place it's available
