1.6 mil daily when? not even ow1 had this much people.. Ow1 release? Sure, but you cant compare to ow2. Ow1 by 2018- had 10-15k daily players, that ♥♥♥♥ was already dead. Blizzard took ow1 and revived it, it is working, tf2 fans cant cope with the fact ow has 350k daily players. Not to mention this is just battlenet numbers, its probably 400k with battle net + steam, now imagine with console too? Its probably around 500-600k, this game is super famous on console.

Yes when we take everything in combination, but I would still like an actual data on current player number when they reach half a million numbers and not just to trust at your word.

Yeah I would much prefer some actual numbers, I mean hell if you look on the twitch link people were passing around about 2 weeks ago for blizzards "♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥" live player count, the player base was peaking at 960k and averaging 820k with a low of 5 something, this would mean that OW2 was destroying COD and battlefield, giving BG3 a run for it's money and contending with the biggest games on steam. The player base assumption's I've seen thrown around on the other hand, say 350-450k on PC and 200-300k on console... either way this would mean that blizzard would be making ~4-6 billion dollars in microtransactions at the end of this year which is enough to buy out the entire overwatch league and replace them if they finally decide to deal with the hell pit that the league has been for Blizzard.

The problem is that Blizzard does not appear to be doing well financially and ActBliz does not want to even potentially end up paying for the League teams leaving and if blizzard was doing as well as the "trust me bro" stats are showing this would be something they could sweep under the rug like pocket change. Plus it would make OW2 a more profitable title than COD if we take the more extreme player counts that the twitch link was showing, hopefully somebody has that saved to a notepad or something and can share it again, I'll attempt to find it on the steam forum but who knows if the threads are still up.

In any case, concrete numbers would be very nice to have but at the same time Blizzard has been against the idea of sharing that information for what, 20 years now, hell they even screw with the investors when it comes to this so giving the general player base concrete numbers would only happen if someone at blizzard recorded it independently and leaked it and even then 75% of people or more wouldn't believe it was accurate.

WoW doesnt have 12 million subs either like in 2008 and it is still extremely profitable game with supporting and passionate playerbase. Blizzard games always have insane start with a lot game tourists who leave for other games after few weeks and they will retain their consistent, healthy and supporting playerbase after that

again... overwatch dropping from 1.6 mil daily to 300k in a year where as tf2 is as old as it is and still keeps that 100k playerbase... Your not making this look better for overwatch 2...

1.6 mil daily when? not even ow1 had this much people.. Ow1 release? Sure, but you cant compare to ow2. Ow1 by 2018- had 10-15k daily players, that ♥♥♥♥ was already dead.

I don't know...it's what a bunch of the overwatch fanboys keep saying the game has...or had at some point.

Regardless, a 20 year old game keeping a large playerbase is still outdoing a game that lost that much playerbase in a year if those fanboys are telling any form of truth.

wow also requires 15 bucks a month to guarantee it gets money from each individual player so not a very good comparison to a f2p game that has an even worse reputation than wow has...

I should know, I been playing wow since Cataclysm and still playing currently.

OW is also much cheaper to develop than WoW after they got rid off PVE repeatable content and they run seasons + battle pass system. Their main boost of income and players is everytime they launch new season and few days after that when most players play. They then can adjust their resources based of what they earned so they make sustanable business model so they can continue for next for example 30 OW 2 seasons

True, Ow is a cheaper game...

Heck, I myself even play City of heroes still and that was shutdown in 2013 but now has a major community server open which has over 1k players at all hours and that game remains and feels so alive still even with that.

That's why I honestly said before that I think this whole overwatch vs tf2 thing on these forums is just steam based. I think the folks on steam who wanna see this version are just after the steam version in all honesty. I think most of em care less about the others.

Blizzard doesn't share numbers period. So obviously using this site^ as a "hey we got lots of players" doesn't mean anything.
