the steam player numbers are pathetic!

[alien_tickler]

decided to check out the player count on steam and was amazed how low they are, yes i know it's a single player game.

the player numbers are dipping below 500

[Inokis]

Maybe I'm alone in this, but what other people buy has no affect on what I buy.

[FreddieForever#1]

maybe because its an unplayable buggy mess, even on consoles.

By now, people who can play the game properly have already finished it.
Not much replayability is not helping.

Touché. Correction : MOST people...

Thats not even true idiot. If you look at the steam charts you can see that the players are over 1000 every single day. Where on earth did you check the playercount?

thats not consistent, it drops below 500

[Gracey Face]

As I understand it drops below 1k concurrent is normal within the first couple of weeks of a single player game's release. You have the spike around release, since most purchases are done around release and everyone wants to play, then it immediately falls off of a cliff as people playing it then are the small number of new buyers and a smaller number of people doing replays.

It's only multiplayer games where drops in concurrent players becomes a problem as it means the people playing have trouble finding matches which then makes them less likely to play and so it creates a feedback loop.

It is a single player game
And it plays even without an internet connection
Player counts are totally irrelevant, it does not matter how many people are playing at any given hour.

If you are looking for a multiplayer match of Callisto, you are doing it wrong.

You dont even seem to know how to make use of the chart

It is a SINGLE PLAYER GAME

So if chart says at a given hour 500 people are playing
That is 500 individuals

Seeing as most people do NOT sit and play 24 hours per day
if it keeps showing 500 people, all day, most of those are not the same people as at 8 AM
So that means that there are far more than 500 unique individuals playing throughout a day.

The game is actually looking about normal for a single player game.

There are certain iconic single player games to have huge numbers per day
they are not the norm

There are also certain very good single player games that have less.

But, they are single player games, so the number of people showing as online and playing means nothing terribly useful

Dying light 1 and 2 are multiplayer focused open world looter shooters. They're not the furthest from this game but they're getting there.

You need to look at games that are single player story driven experiences.

Sorry OP, there's a lot of things you can concern troll for Callisto Protocol, but this just ain't one of them; the numbers are consistent for a SP game 1 month after release.

DL2 is MULTIPLAYER
I would hope to hell it has 5 times the amount in game at any given time, or the multiplayer part is dead.

TCP has 0 multiplayer content at all, Zero, Zilch, None.
It also does not even require to be online at all except to validate game license every few weeks, so no one playing it who has no present internet connection would show up at all
even if there were 10 million of them.

FWIW there are 722 people who are online, that are running the game, in STEAM
no telling how many are playing in epic, or xbox or playstation.
The game is not a Steam Exclusive, nor PC exclusive, so the numbers mean jack
and, it is a Single Player Game, so numbers are semi useless anyways

Super 100% true, bastard game, baaaa
