Genuine question. Seemed to be super hyped and now I don’t hear much about it. Steam charts have 300k as highest player count but now it’s around 60-80k players.

    Pretty much every single game has a massive drop off in concurrent players after the initial spike. That’s just how humans work, not everyone who tries something will like it.

    No, it did not, and concurrent players is a very bad metric to use for something like this. They sold north of 3.5M copies. At $40 each, that’s about $100M. Even looking at concurrent players, right now, at 98k players, it’s the 14th most played game on Steam, so with the information you did use, as a paid game and not free to play, it would be hard to say that it flopped.

    No?

    80-60k players is still incredibly successful. I don’t think Nightreign was ever expected to see those kinds of numbers given the nature of the game.
