The act of doing PvP is playing PvP, regardless of the motivation behind it. If someone queues into a battleground, fights other players, and earns kills or objectives, they played PvP. The fact that an achievement nudged them toward it doesn't change what actually happened.
Based off the steam statistics millions have playd pvp in this game, thats just a fact.
I think the reason people get so confused when you speak of pvp. Is because you oft times switch between
different tenses. Meaning now or continuous, and have been which is past tense and is now discontinued.
4,040,000 killed one player This is according to the last post of over 20million copies sold, so I used 20million,
there are more but the 20million is only to get a static number to show increase or decrease in pvp, on steam in 7dtd.
1,740,000 killed 5 other players in the game. Which means the number that continued dropped by 56.930693 percent
1,160,000 killed 10 players. This dropped from 5 kills by 33.333333 percent
700,000 killed 25 players This dropped from 10 by 39.655172 percent
So going from the facts presented on Steam, there was a progressive decline, in PVP in this particular game.
Over all the amount of people that continued to play PVP on this game registered on steam, dropped by 82.673267
percent after the first steam registered kill. Meaning that 17.326733 of the players registered in this database continued
and or continue to play PVP to reach and pass that goal.
So, unless Steam no longer registers this stat, it was extremely close to the same amount and percentages, the last
time I checked, me being curious, after another posting quite similar to this very one.
If steam is still registering, these accolades, then either the number of continuous players on steam, in this game, has not
increased enough to make a percentage difference. Or they are all on non monitored steam consoles.
Going by and using the same facts that you posted, Does it show an increase or decrease in interest, playin pvp on steam
in this game? There has to be reasons why.
