Sorry but this logic is not sound. EVery person I know that has gone through steam leaves steam but not the game. Because steam is a shitty platform to place this game from.

People always assume that when a graph is going down it is end all be all. Think of other alternatives to why that graph shows that as well as people leaving.

Can't we all just agree that were gamers with different tastes and preferences, and sit around a camp fire holding hands, singing Kumbaya, and telling ghost stories?

I see. Interesting point. My own anecdotal evidence is that every person I know that has played this game, no longer does.

Oh i am with you there, this is a niche game for niche players. Me I love the grind of games. I have been playing since before 1998 in 2D games or games like Magestorm. Grinding doesn't bother me a damn bit and it makes me sad how this gaming generation wants shit handed to them on a platter and when it is they whine that it was too easy to get. If you dont like the game, get out. If you like it play. I have friends who haven't logged in in months and I have friends who play hours daily. But let's all feed the troll under the bridge that says POE SUX D3 ROCKS LOLNEWB. Go to the game you like and stfu, end of thread...

What he said IS logic, what you counter it with is personal opinion. He offered verifiable, objective data, and his rationale is sound.

Everyone *I* know who played PoE, and who stopped in the months after release, was using Steam and never even considered using the standalone client. And I used to use the standalone client and then linked my account to Steam (more convenient). That, too, is too subjective to matter.

It is, however, more reasonable to expect the number of players who play through Steam to grow at a faster rate (since release) than the number of those who use the standalone client, because Steam is the undisputed major PC platform, and as such, it's advertising power is appropriately strong. (And genre fans already played before.)

What should really make you think is that GGG removed the /online command. Now, if for some reason only the Steam numbers had fallen through the floor, but the in-game numbers had not, why would they do that?

Online was removed because we sharded the realm on to multiple databases and so it's harder to get the count now. It may be added back in later.

D3 is pretty nice. Having so much fun with RoS ! :)
