Player count?

[snackrifce]

steam says 17k and steamcharts says 11k. I am confused

It also does not include the numbers from Epic, XBox or PlayStation.
It's a number I don't place a lot of importance on, I play or not based on what I like or not.

Numbers of players is Less than 20k anyway. They are reluctant to make good content to the game for years I don’t know if it is too late now to change that, I can see they are trying to change it but not too much, at least I haven’t felt too much about it. Some exotics need to be buffed so that we have more choice of builds instead of playing same builds in every DLC.

According to an article by Zuhaad the overall at the time of writing was 59,771 with playstation having 24,543 xbox having 22,022 steam having 11,243 and epic having 877.

Turns out firing all your QA staff and releasing buggy content after buggy content kills the game. First was the weapon perk crap, then tonics not working, and now people locked out of Dawning event it has gotten so bad. Not to even mention the meaningless no stakes story with irredeemable characters like Lakshmi and Eramis, we should've killed the former and the latter can only be salvaged interesting through death and guardian rebirth otherwise why do they keep her aroun. She keeps talking about making a new home and "her people" but she literally opened a vex invasion on her own home and own people and pressed the button to attack the traveler even with how much it still meant to the Eliksni.

The only people that still play this game are console players. In GM teamfinder, I didn't even see ONE person that's on Steam or Epic. Which is insane to think about because if we didn't have crossplay, basically no one is playing GM.

To be fair that's probably because the PC players are using the d2lfg discord.

Didn't used to but I heard discord is making stupid decision including requiring AI so that sucks.

damn, pc version is dying. on steam charts, cats have more player than destiny 2. What's worse is overwatch 2 have more player than destiny 2 now. i feel bad for this game. getting this off my chest, i wanted to end my life before i heard about destiny 2. when i played destiny 2 beta, i liked it. you can say, destiny 2 gave me the will to live. i had pre-ordered this game 2 times. 1 on battlenet and other on ps4. its sad to see this game dying.

player count may go up but the lost trust is harder to gain.

I remember when steam players was able to hit 100k to 200k on expansion and have around 100k concurrent on steam only. Have 3k hours and loved this game with all my heart but im not playing it for around 2y. Only jump in for a moment to finish final shape and the raid and stopped playing again. Im still watching aztecross and other streamers to follow the game and waiting for the moment when game will gets to point when its in a good shape again but for now they canned the game in my opinion and are just cutting coupons from it instead of trying and save it. I think sony will dissmantel bungie at some point and will take the rains and this is my hope when MAYBE destiny will have a comeback.

It's not possible to make d2 get back to where it was without rewriting the engine to modern standards and changing raids and a lot of other activities to be more solo friendly with an updated fireteam finder with more options. Balancing the game to the few percent that plays raids was always a huge failure.
But it's doubtful they'll invest money to hiring programmers to fix what should have been fixed a decade ago.

What they should have done was not put the game in that state in the first place. Game can't handle adding more content? Make a new game, potentially on a new engine that won't have this problem. And now it's too late, the game is buchered by constant content removal, the experience for new players is terrible, the game runs worse and worse with each new season, and there are fewer and fewer players coming back. And instead of working on D3, all we know is that they are working on a PVP shooter that will surely flop.
