Recent average player count is the lowest since Immortal Empire release:

Player count by months:

as you can see the average player count for Wh3 is at its worst just after SoC DLC release.

It is clear that not only the DLC failed hard, but people are losing interest in Warhammer 3.

He will buy you 2 pizzas of your choice if you purchase Total War Pharoah.

Reading this is actually making me hungry, going to go support local biz and buy pizza.

Breaking news: the awfully low player count is during the month of DLC release, not "months after".

17,000 players for a niche single player strategy game is "awfully low"?

Lol.

It is compared to previous DLC releases, as the discussion clearly implied.

Which you tried to pretend it is not by "months after DLC is normal that players drop" statement, which I debunked with the fact it was the same month of DLC release.

Honestly, do you ever get tired of concern-trolling? It seems unhealthy.

All your comments on this thread are about me. That seems unhealthy aswell.

I think you might have stated your original post wrong.

"Recent average player count is the lowest since Immortal Empire release"

Yet august clearly is lower then September. And 2 months that had very similar numbering, only differing about 700 total average players, yet lower peak ratings compared to September 2023.

With how concerned Mazi shows himself to be about CA's fortunes, you almost got to believe he's a stakeholder fearing for his investments.

To be honest, the sheer amount of threads he makes, just feels asif he wants all the attention.

I'm sure they all are.

And the threads continue....

[Synaptyc]

There are so many other variables to account for, this is quite a leap.

With player counts plummeting and HYENAS being robbed of GOTY and IGN 10/10, the future is uncertain for WH3. ToD will be critical in regaining trust and positive cashflow to reinvest into MTX.

lots of accurate numbers

yeah, and what now? after all the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ (from "critical gamer and their boy-cott and sega fiscal relevations) what do u expect, new highs?
better let the whole thing settle for awhile and stop makin everyday another doomsday prophecy and fearmongering! nothing good can happen when residing in the rabbit hole or feeding the pitchforkmob---lets hope CA finds their way out of that situation and we'll get at least the roadmap mastered.

Coming from a fighting games where if even a few hundred people are playing a game at any one time is a new high, seeing people upset a game with 10s of thousands of active players and acting concerned always came off as a bit strange. You don't even need other people to enjoy TW like you do fighting games so its doubly odd!

[Mr Chow]

Games over dead there rip off prices have done it.

[Reeva!]

I stopped playing due to lag and constant crashes whenever Bretonia's Green Knight so much as exists.

Never actually finished a campaign because it's not worth my time to do so. Even at the very end, the home stretch, 1v1 between you and Morathi (always ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ Morathi), the game still wants to kill itself whenever you end your turn. It's not difficult either, it's just you have to sit there, staring at a screen with moving parts, for the next 100 or so turns until you finally beat her.

It's an ongoing downward trend from release, with spikes around DLCs. This is normal for a mostly single player non-live service. The general counts look reasonable, what's missing is the DLC spike, likely due to its terrible price/value and poor reviews.

The DLC spike is not missing, you are just looking at the wrong charts.

Go to Steamdb charts of the game, and you'll easily see the spike from the SoC release.

17K doesn't actually seem that bad to me, given the nature of the game.
