that still isn't a lot considering the total amount of people playing the game.
and a bunch of those are also the same people in different platforms.

That's why I wrote "message boards". I was grouping all online complaining together. It's a lot of people to be sure but it still doesn't represent the whole population. Think about a game you own that you just play and are not at all involved with any online community talking about it. THAT is the silent majority of players for this game too.

Now we can imagine that most of them are playing and enjoying it, or we can imagine that most of them are playing and being miserable, or we can imagine that most of them are playing modded-- whatever copium works to make us feel better...haha.

@Roadkill115, you deleted your post but I wanted to answer you that Rick gets very detailed reports from Steam. He doesn't always share the details but he monitors things closely. That report was for individual players who booted up the game during the month of July and it broke them down into the various versions available. There's a lot of unknowns still, of course, such as modded vs unmodded or gameplay length etc.

Those who want to believe that most players are unhappy with 2.0 can still believe it and those who want to believe that most players are happy with 2.0 can believe that regardless of the report. I brought it up because there was a sentiment that perhaps most players aren't even playing 2.0 and the report definitively answers that question. Most people in the player population play whatever the current stable version is. Period. And I think that goes back to what I stated up above...most are not following community discourse online and are probably unaware they can play an older version.

That's not completely accurate. Steam collects data for every user that boots up a game using steam whether they have their profile set to public or private. But it does not collect data for games that are booted up in offline mode. So if you play in offline mode your hours played won't be accurate and your session won't count towards the concurrent players online report.

Of course, that just means that there are possibly even more players out there playing 7 Days to Die than Steamcharts shows.
 
There is one numeric that is never spoken about, sort of the forgotten
stepchild. There are those that play solely offline. Like me, I had 37 minutes that
I could be associated with on any play chart. It didn't change until I think it was
v1.0 or whichever one needed you to play online to load passed the splash screen.

Now it is 17.7 hours, first because when it first happened the first time i got caught
up in the game, and forgot to turn off my inet connection. The second was playing for a
while with one of my friends that I bought the console for, turns out he had the pc version
now he has both. But he hadn't played in a long time and didn't even know of the updates.

After playing with him and watching him run around, like a monkey freed from a box, and getting
me killed 10 times, trying to save him when he went all Mortal Kombat with his fists and naked in all high tier
pois, in the wasteland. So I decided to keep the friendship and lose the connection, so I'm playing offline again.

I only turn on my connection, when I am in front of my computer. A learned habit from passed job.

Fortunately for me I found the forum, and many modders showed me how to turn my crazy, and many times
totally unpopular ideas into my own world.

So when showing numbers on either side, please include 1 extra. ■■■■ it I count too!

I'm starting to feel a little left out.....Pouty face.

It would probably be more accurate, if the numbers were based on the download of each alpha associated only
once per steam ID. Although there are also probably some that have a lot of alternate accounts for.........Reasons. suspicious.gif
