Dragon Age: The Veilguard has already fallen out of the Steam top 100
Didn't even make it a month. This is a bigger flop for BioWare than Anthem. Honestly can't see how this studio makes it past Q1 next year.

it has nothing to do with the games quality , it has to do with steam's demand for advertising , you see steam controls its popularity contest with these games, while the game may or may not be great steam wants to receive incentive to market it.

large game studio's don't want to pay steam to market it with up ticks because they feel the quality of the game speaks for itself, steam not getting its extra cut is why these games drop off the 100 list.

it is all part of the marketing manipulation that has been a legal issue with steam for years now. many developers have questioned steam into this practice as it purposely shows the industry failure that steam hides its ability to manipulate reviews and product presence.

Also the game requires resources that most older pc's can't handle, something steam doesn't acknowledge when it starts to manipulate reviews.

biggest woke game in 2024

BioWare has been a raging endlessly fueled dumpster fire for over a decade. Remember the Hamburger Helper story arc? Ding dong bannu?

Because despite it being standard for BioWare games for years, the game has "woke" content that some people now consider problematic, and so they're begging for it to fail so they can blame "woke" as the cause.

those are vetted games with most likely marginally lower populations then any of us really know. witcher 3 is like 10 years old . skyrim 15 and gta v all old indeed.


those games are on the list because steam wants them on the list maybe 1000's of antiquated steam servers running the games, not because people are playing them, ironically does witcher 3 have a higher population playing it then cyberpunk 2077?

you have to look past the filters anyway its easy to have 1350 people playing a game but then just add a 0 on the end and it becomes 13,500 people. Which in my opinion is always whats been going on.

remember how cyberpunk 2077 boycott was done against cd redkit until they folded an paid for marketing advertising, Ultimately we all known that negative advertisement is as effective for destroying games as positive is for selling them.

on the positive side maybe they will drop the price to 39.95.

The game is currently ranked at #50 by sales:
https://store.steampowered.com/charts/topselling/global


And #89 by daily players:
https://store.steampowered.com/charts/mostplayed
(Its ranked #84 by current players at the time of posting)

Methinks the OP has made a mistake when looking up the title.

It's funny how I would never have known about any woke game if it weren't for antiwoke cheerleaders.
