DUNGEONBORNE VS DARK AND DARKER PLAYER NUMBERS

[MisterSmellies]

ALL TIMES ARE IN UK TIME AND IN 24 HOUR FORMAT. DUNGEONBORNE NUMBERS WILL BE OBTAINED FROM STEAM COMMUNITY TAB AS IT IS ONLY ON STEAM. DARK AND DARKER NUMBERS WILL BE FROM THE PLAYERS TAB AS IT IS ON 3 LAUNCHERS. I will update this regularly over the coming weeks sometimes multiple times a day.

THE DAD FIGURE IS FROM THE IN GAME PLAYER TAB AND INCLUDES PLAYERS FROM ALL LAUNCHERS.

I personally prefer DAD and this is NOT a pro Dungeonborne thread. It's just a source of information. Don't try to argue which game is better I don't care. As you can see, despite being a much newer game Dungeonborne's lead is only small when it is ahead. For some reason DAD keeps pulling ahead later in the day. Asian Dungeonborne players going to sleep? More European DAD players? DAD Seems to have higher 24 hour peaks.

And DAD has pulled ahead again. If this continues in to the night we have 2 days in a row where DAD begins to beat Dungeonborne numbers later in the day. What does this mean? Dungeonborne is more popular in Asian markets and its numbers drop off as they go to sleep?

Whoo careeeessss

Lots of folks will try DB out being new, then settle on whichever they like. Can't really call this a race so close to the start... I agree with other posts, give it another month and see to have a better comparison.

Also note what the total player base for DnD was prior to the DB launch (over 50K or so offhand)... did DB attract more players to the genre (which is a good thing), or just siphon off DnD players checking out a new launch? If the two are just competing against each other, then from a marketing perspective, one of them should shift gears a bit to have a competitive edge (enter PvE die-hards lol).

Maybe f2p users are kids and have to go to bed. Probably not the craziest theory.

You don't understand. I can only have fun if my number is higher.

A very adult and healthy point of view lol. "You have to go to bed, therefore, you are a child." This entire thread is among the most inane things around here.

In the first result of the night Dark and Darker maintains a narrow lead.

I was considering this more as kids often tend not to have money and DB currently appeals more to F2P. Needing to go to bed at certain hours just also happens to coincide with that, though its summer vacation so maybe that doesnt apply as much.

Like, timezones do exist…
Really not sure why you keep bringing up “maturity” type topics though.

Timezones are a valid argument. If there is evidence to suggest its primary audience is Asia then that is probably more likely.

Im a little taken aback why the two of you seem to think kids and teens dont play games and arent part of this equation though. They absolutely are.

Like sure but they’re not the whole focus here.
Especially when you contradict yourself another paragraph in realizing its still summer time.

DaD has multiple platforms available to it making the player base much more larger.
Despite that DB is still plenty sizable.

But then theres time since release, seasons, features, etc.
The heck does age matter when anyone and everyone can play a free to play game?

Please use the in game launcher’s data instead of only steam charts.
