you have to count all the people on other platforms like Epic games, Xbox and PlayStation and there is alot of people playing this on Xbox to

There are definitely a lot more people on console playing this game than on Steam. Really rare to find PC players.

Player Counter is unfortunately not an accurate source for player numbers.

unless you want to go in and count all the people playing, where else are you gonna get a source?

That doesn't answer why Player Counter is somehow trustworthy especially as it doesn't come from publishers nor devs.

A player counter like this is among the most accurate ways to detect the amount of people playing, at least when devs don't allow first party tracking of that info. It's usually a bad thing, or laziness. L4D did this in their lobby finder.

It's certainly something other than having absolutely no data regarding total playercount, but I still don't see nor have heard anyone explain what exactly makes it trustworthy or accurate.

The last one I saw had similar numbers, but every time I refresh (like every 2 seconds) it spikes by hundreds or even thousands. If this one is doing that as well, it's fake af. This game is not that popular to spike that frequently all the time.

[MrHugz]

Player count be damned, all I want is for updates to release without screwing something up, and that screw ups are dealt with quickly and immediately. Clearly there's a reason as to why that isn't happening, although I doubt it's a good reason.

Not sure about that info. I recalled back in November people posted the same numbers.

Difference was back then B4B used to be in top 50 most played game for xbox but has left top 50 for a couple of months now.
