Even Valve has released their playing/download numbers to the public. but boo hoo users will COMPLAIN and TROLL about them being LOW and PW being DEAD
Valve has a LOT BIGGER community than PW does, and Steam has public forums with hundreds of thousands of posts. These posts say how some games are “dead” and stuff and some people trolling about it.
Yet they still release them to the public.
There’s no reason to not release these numbers to the public here too other than greed.
I read the whole post.
Showing these numbers publicly would do more harm than good.
What’s even the fricking point of showing these numbers if players like you are going to constantly complain about how dead the game is.
Although your posts are not spam, they are just useless. Also, Jake has talked about it why they’re not showing any numbers publicly. You say “there’s no reason to not release these numbers”, I presume there will always be a reason behind it.
Yes, Jake said that every game becomes less popular during school/work days, because people have less time to play.
Someone might look at pw stats dropping after a summer holiday, and tell everyone that the game is dying, and then everyone will start quitting, and the game will actually die.
Average stats will still drop during school/work days.
Unless of course you make them average out a year of stats, so the detail of what happens on and after holidays isn’t visible, but that would be kind of useless.
