Lots VERY bad games sold "millions" at launch, then turned out to be hot garbage. Also, PoE 2 numbers include Chinese players, PoE 1 numbers do not.

I don't think PoE 2 is doing bad, though. It's in EA and is pulling in the same numbers we see in PoE 1 at league launch, which are good numbers. But I think the point people are trying to make, is that it's doing only "the same" as PoE 1 leagues - and a little "I told you so" when it comes to tourists trying the game at launch, pushing up those 5-600k numbers.

We could also make the point that less than half of the people trying PoE 2 at launch returned for 0.2. Is that also a good thing?

PoE 2 is doing fine at the moment, just as fine as PoE 1 is doing at league launches. Which means? Support both games, GGG.

The POE1 all-time peak of 228k players is equal with today's 228k peak. Let's be real about that.

Edit: SteamDB is showing 238k, whereas steamchart is showing 228k. Either way, unless tomorrow shows a bigger number, this shouldn't be considered "better" than POE1 was doing before it's development was pulled.

and....its gone. Peaked at 225k and dropping as we go into the evening. Gonna have to wait a week to get real numbers to argue with tbf.

I predict less than 150k in one week and down below 100k in 2. Game is gonna fail not because of portals or xp penalty, but because it is way to boring slow terrible design. Character in the first acts is beyond slow, movement dodge roll and combat is clunky. Tile sets in areas and maps are very repetitive and suck, like they were made by d4 rejected designers.

I've already given up and uninstalled, maybe in 3 years when the game releases i'll try again.

Yeah this is what a failing game looks like. Hundreds of thousands of players playing the game. Sure buddy

Just noting that "seasons/leagues" are meant to dwindle over time of course...that's how it works.

I guess your point a typical season/league should last longer than 3 weeks or something?

I'm not sure how it was in PoE1 that much? How long did PoE1 season/league typically last? I mean in terms of an actual playerbase -- like 4 months of actual players, like stable ~40k+..?
