The BREACH Steam Charts Prediction Thread!

It's about a 50/50 split now. Eventually, the steam client base will overtake the standalone client as more new players arrive and the old guard leave.

That's the trend.

Anyway, that wasn't the point of the contest. It was about who could guess the number concurrent steam users.

At the start of the previous league, it was possible to get on the cue just seconds before the actual launch and compare that number VS the steam launch number at launch time.

Minus the steam number from the cue number and the resulting number are the people using the stand alone. It's simple to do. Just need to get in the cue right as it's about to launch and check what the steam number was.

The ratio was around 50/50. In previous leagues the ratio was more in favor of the stand alone, but the steam ratio has been steadily increasing its share. I predict the next expansion to be closer to a 60/40 ratio in favor of the steam client.

The great thing about ratios is that it's going to be (roughly) consistent down the line. Currently, with the (roughly) 50/50 split, you can know how many concurrent users there are (again, roughly) by simply doubling the steam client number.
