this game is seriously popular... but nobody really talks about it...

it has more players then killing floor 2, dishonored, black ops... and more!

awesome :)

 
I suspect the one metric that 7D2D REALLY does well in is Hours Played. I know that doesn't directly pay the bills, but it's the hallmark of a great game.

While it is interesting, the title is a bit misleading. The leak didn't directly provide the number of players. It only made it easier for the number of players to be abstracted from achievement percentages.

Again, still interesting.

What I'd like to know is, why doesn't Steam just make those numbers publicly available anyway?

 
It's probably along the same lines as why they started to hide the server player counts when I played Everquest years ago. It had something to do with competitors being able to target their customer base and actively determine if moves they made were working. If your player base starts to shrink, there's also a bit of a snowball effect when people see the dwindling population each day.

That might be true in concurrent player counts, but that's not what these numbers are. These are if a steam account has at least opened the game. It's cumulative.

I would also be curious about total hours a game has accrued across all people who have played it, and an average.

Something else to consider....

The way this data is tracked, it's very likely counting not just purchased copies, but people playing using the family share option.

 
And I'd guess it's also not considering refunds.

That is very likely.

And probably not tracking people who played/purchased before this tracking achivement was recording data for 7 Days, and haven't played since.

Also, that's #75 on the list out of a total on 1,000 games.

 
How far this game has come amazes me every time I look at stats pages.

Kinda reminds me

Guys I just want to be real for a moment.

Comparing black ops' steam sales to 7dtd's isn't fair. Since steam isn't black ops' primary seller, but it is 7dtd's.
