I really hate to see how it's looking. Love this game to absolute death, bought both Seasons. But only like 150 active players has to be demoralizing for the devs. Devs, you did a great job! Sometimes stuff happens though. :(

id rather keep it pay to play free to play will make it worse(just my opinion) no one wants to buy games anymore and wants everything free hence people asking f2p again just my opinion and how i feel with the game but got to remember the game is crossplay so the steam charts dont even give it the most accurate number

Like I always say crossplay is bull and should never be counted on especially for indie games so if Steam numbers are low console will be no different if not worse.

What's your basis for this ignorant claim? Queue times certainly are suggesting there's way more then 150 players for getting game after game with full lobbies.

so if Steam numbers are low console will be no different if not worse.

Unless you can prove console numbers are also low (Which you can't because they're not posted anywhere), there's zero logic to handwaving away Crossplay numbers.

This misinformation needs to stop being spread.

I've played hundreds of games now and its pretty easy to come to a conclusion like I have. Crossplay is definitely useful to get more players but like I said its not a good selling point to say why a game can be seen as "healthy." If anything if you have to say that in the first place when people can see its low on one platform its a red flag to why you should probably rethink on buying it.

Also something I don't mention because I blatantly forget is the player count on steam is the total amount of players in general (for the steam platform obviously), so if your in a "bad" region your screwed. Having a 1000 players total split up or mixed together among various regions is really bad.

If people don't buy the game, how on earth do you expect more people to play? Telling people not to buy it is ensuring that this self fulfilling prophecy of "Game iz ded" comes true because you're driving people away.

Set it to worldwide. Suddenly those 1000 players split up aren't so split up.

That's why I also said mixed (miss-worded, worldwide/global makes more sense) is also not good either.

Pfp and gameplay hours on specific games for sure makes sense why you're commenting what you are.

Being vague and cryptic doesn't handwave away my points I've made the way you think it does. But then again, you weren't looking to engage in good faith if you can't even explain why these Red Herrings mean anything.

No reason in engaging with someone who lacks common sense and basic understanding. Your so out of touch with reality I'm surprised you aren't in a mental hospital.

Game has a 24 hour peak of 174 people on steam for a paid game. You think that many people on other platforms are playing this game with how horrid the controller feels on this game? If you truly believe that there is only one thing you should do.

Say it with me.

Crossplay

For the low count on Steam, queues are still plenty quick. If there was ONLY 174 players, I would need to set it to Worldwide and I'd still expect a few minute queue time. That's not what's happening here, which means there's a substantial population outside Steam.

Queue times seem to support that they do. The fact that I've even said on another thread that I play this on console more then on Steam further suggests that yes, there are plenty of people that do. This game really isn't that hard to play with a controller, thanks to zero spread. Or maybe it's just a skill issue on your end since this is the type of logic you're throwing down here?

If you truly believe that there is only one thing you should do.

I agree, the only acceptable option is to point out the flaws in your points and laugh that the best you can bring are petty insults.
