@CantGetRightPlaying does not mean enjoying. Why aren't the player stats on steam signifcantly better than the stats of bf5? 6000 players more than bf5. Really bad for a fresh released game. By the way, Farming Simulator has more players in steam 😃

This has been debunked already. Steam is just one of the many ways PC users log in. You need to look at the total PC users, which that data is not available, otherwise you are just doing fun by numbers.

Exact numbers are a bit fun yes but conclusions can be made.Steam is like less than 20% of the PC base though, many may have figured out they didn't have to log into Steam and instead went straight through Origin or EpicGames Store. Since we don't have server player count stats across all platforms it is literally impossible to determine if there is a max exodus or not. Don't be fooled by the loud complainers here with their multiple accounts, the forums actually is the minority. It only consists of a very small fraction of the player base voicing their opinions. The majority don't join forums or disscusion boards to share their opinion; they either silently play the game or move onto a different game.
Also it is fair to note there was a huge dip in BF4 at launch as well due to its game breaking issues. After the major patch fixes, and DLC launch, player base increased again. Heck BF4 population spiked when BF2042 was close to launch, based on that one could make a conclusion that more people started buying BF4 again or that people enjoyed BF4 suddenly over BFV but you and I both no that wasn't the reason behind the spike.
- Man_iLoveFishing5 years agoSeasoned Ace@VBALL_MVP where did you pull that 20%? And bf4 spiked because of modern era. Even I played bf4 after knowing 2042 is modern era.
