wat. You take the 5k number, and based on your general idea of how long people play, you get 60,000. Which is quite a bit high in my opinion but it still makes sense. Then from out of nowhere you say all that is wrong and pull 200,000 out of your ass. Great logical claims right there. I'm just doing the exact same thing you are lol.

Assuming people are averaging 2 hours of playtime every day is a HUGE overestimation for the average player.
Assuming that there are no players who play less often than every day is an even more ridiculous assumption.

Getting 60,000 from 5000 simultaneous players is a REALLY low measure.

Maybe you need to actually go back and read my initial post. Since you obviously didn't, because I already explained how I got my numbers.

You like stats huh ? I give you some ;

Counter Strike : Global Offensive: 7,172 Currently online

Call of Duty: Black Ops II - Multiplayer: 5,723 Currently online

Don't bee such a troll.... please.

Like i already say... those are Steam Stats of players currently playing that games in PC, stats will be much lower in Consoles.

Pretty sure player numbers in the PS3 version of DUST are higher than on PC (sorry, had to be said)

So you've provided numbers for two major and well-established game brands that have been around for years, and the numbers on those games don't significantly outstrip the numbers on DUST.

Thanks for supporting my argument with hard numbers on some games that should reasonably be expected to have MUCH larger and more acitve playerbases than a game like DUST, and seem not to be as far ahead as I would have expected them to.

And this isn't me being a troll. Pointing out that you spelt "be" wrong and a "bee" is a flying insect would be trolling. Arguing in a thread about a videogame's chances of success and using publicly available numbers, logic and basic knowledge of maths is called "discussion".

Is morning where i live... You know, is more places in the world, than just the USA.

I just saying, that the numbers will be very similar to what they are right now ( Just Higher ). In fact i'm pretty sure, that more EU people plays CoD or CS, than they do Dust 514 right now.

Insult you ? how ?

Just saying.... again... That the current Dust 514 player count, is NOT as bad, as you HARDCORE HATERS are trying to make it sound.

I'll never understand this phenomenon. You know, the one where people play a game they despise and make the game's demise their ultimate goal. I've played so many games where a group of people fought so hard to destroy the game and run it to the ground. Face of Mankind comes to mind. A small group of players would murder new players and tell them, "Lawl, FOM's dread, you need to uninstall it. Trust us." Hell, there was even a GM who assisted in this propaganda. If you hate the game that much, why play? It's like some kind of video game terrorism.

You're seriously trying to tell me that people get a kick out of running someone's creation to the ground? In Face of Mankind's case, it actually worked. TWICE! It has recently been taken over by another company and a Kickstarter has been made to "Re-release" the game for a third time!

You have problems and gripes with the game. Great! You're entitled to that. Just like people are entitled to enjoy the game. Maybe instead of calling them blind sheep and fanboys, you can say, "Well, I for one certainly don't see how they can rate it a 10, but whatever..." But no, it's always a debate as to why the game sucks and why people should also agree that it sucks. Though I would imagine that going with the former would put a damper on your internet egos.

It's simple. CCP is not forcing you to play. They aren't even forcing you to pay! If you hate the game so much, then quit. You lose absolutely nothing! And if you did put money down on AUR and still hate the game but are bitter about it, then that's your doing. CCP did not force you to buy that AUR. Hell, the game just officially got released yesterday, and to be quite honest, rather you love it or hate it, spending money on AUR while the game was in BETA was a gamble.

Does the game need work? Yes, it needs work like Lady Gaga needs a nose job. Does the game have potential? Yes, it indeed does. Will it meet said potential? Well, that's yet to be seen.

The truth of the matter is, not a single one of us know where Dust 514 is going to go. I will critique the game when and where critiquing is due, but I will stick with it and see where this thing goes. There may come a point when I feel the game is not what I anticipated it to be. If that day comes, I will walk away. It will be removed from my PS3. I don't understand why this is so hard for you guys to comprehend.

What you want me to compare Dust 514 with ? A racing game ?
