Show a cumulative subscriber count on Workshop Showcases

[axollyon]

Almost nobody uses the follower system on the workshop at all. I'm getting close to having 25 thousand total subscribers on all of my submissions, but that's not displayed on my profile. Instead, my measly number of 17 followers is shown. Follower count is an absolutely worthless thing to have on a showcase, and unless you guys advertise the follower system a whole lot better, a total number of all of your subscribers on all of your submissions would be a much better way to gauge how active you are on the Steam Workshop.

Followers are more a judge of how many people find your work interesting enough they want to be actively notified when you create more content. As opposed to those that find an individual piece of work interesting.

I have perhaps 3 workshop creators that I follow. Dozens more that I have subscribed to mods from but I'm not eagerly awaiting follow up content from them only from the 3 I follow.

So i know this is an old post, but I agree with this, though I do like the follower counter, I do think they should add a total subscribtion counter of all the uploads on the profile showcase, it would be fun to see how many total subscriptions one has.
