How many active users does have PoE?

I'm curious :)!!how many are we :)??is it known :)??
http://steamcharts.com/app/238960 not that many players. http://steamcharts.com/top/p.3 It's currently on the third page, so not exactly The social game, more like a niche entertainment.
Seven. Of course, that doesn't mean there isn't more, but I can count at least seven.
Yes i found that chart too.. But it counts only the steam users i think.. But dunno the percentage of steam user compared with the total users.. I've also found that at the launch GGG has 250k simultaneous users with 1.4M total users.. But dunno how reliabe that numbers are since the article was dates 2013..
Lets count
Im Number 1
It's not that difficult to hide overall interest in the game from "them Internetz", imho. Check this out as well: https://www.google.com/trends/explore#q=path%20of%20exile Also, Youtube views: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCA7X5unt1JrIiVReQDUbl_A Twitch views: http://www.twitch.tv/directory/game/Path%20of%20Exile

One can safely say it's no more popular than an "average" Vine'r (no offence, I love vines and PoE!) or has more twitch following than just one Dota 2/LoL streamer (in fact, all of PoE streams combined don't make 1k viewers). Even random 5-180 second videos from top games make more views than official, extremely carefully and craftily made PoE-trailers/reviews.

I, for instance, hate the artificial difficulty with the gems: you have to have 4/5/6 linked items for builds to work, and you also must acquire the right colors of the links. I don't have survey results about what frustrates the most, but Gems/Desync/1-shot is what's keeping me, personally, from committing to this wonderful game. We can all play bad boys here, but there shouldn't be in-game anxiety rising from "should I try this skill first, while (maybe) getting to this set of skills later (if I'm lucky enough)".

P. S.: The toxicity in general discussion is mind-boggling. No wonder the rules were adjusted, but some still don't understand how to behave like human beings.

When the beta was launched a couple months back, PoE reached 20k views on Twitch out of nowhere. That peak was so sudden that I would say that at least 80% of them were regular players that were anticipating the new content.

The current number of invites to the beta may give an idea of people that at least signed in to play it.

Finally, I dont know how important is Garena for the current PoE playerbase, so maybe there are a lot more people playing that we are estimating.

Around 140k active Steam players in the past 2 weeks according to steamspy.com

You can easily quadruple that number if you want to add players from Russia, Taiwan and the western players who don't use Steam. So decent activity imo.
GGG banning all political discussion shortly after getting acquired by China is a weird coincidence.

The OP wasn't really asking for your personal opinion of the game. I think he'd appreciate information relating to his question more than personal feedback.

@OP - Here is an interesting comparison I've noticed PoE seems to follow a peak and valley trend similar to other online games. Granted the scale isn't as large as other big name titles, but the trend seems fairly typical.

Because we are on the verge of a large expansion dropping, PoE is likely in a valley at the moment. It will see a big upswing for release, and then dwindle down again. Same as with most other games. Because of this I'd say you are right, that the results you mentioned earlier aren't accurate for the current state because that was after a mini expansion. It would be much lower right now. It would be interesting to know what the numbers are when Act 4 goes live to the public realm.
