I honestly think that 9k is pretty surprisingly good for Starfield at this point, thats only on Steam, not including consoles, so lets add like 15 people to the number for Xbox and you get a pretty good estimate.
Considering how mediocre and repetitive and small the game is (in comparison to how large they made it seem), I think that most people would drop it within a week or so, so 9k people still playing kind of seems like a win for Todd at this point.
The fact that No Mans Sky is like ten years old and has never charged for any content, and is still going strong is what's really impressive.
I actually think (despite not playing it myself) that they have had one of the best redemption stories since FF14, and I really like to see it myself. Not giving up on the project, making things better, and improving things for the people that actually like it as well as garnering new fans, are all great things in my opinion.
Probably much easier with a smaller team or its a passion ptoject. Gonna assume they have a small team of 20 to 60 people. Not 1200 peole that larger AAA studios have (where 80% of the people are useless).
I think it was 12 people or something but yeah somewhere around there.
They must clear profit on every free update and expedition. It's a good model.
Despite how fucked the release was honestly kudos to Sean Murray for making it right.
Ive been monitoring player count numbers since starfield's release. Aside from first 1 month.. skyrim legendary and remaster combined gets about 4x the player count of starfield. Fallout 4 is 2x the player count.
With thousands of planets.. people sure gave up quick on exploring barren ass planets with nothing to do.
Yea I have seen various posts and checked player count myself randomly on different things - that new dogshit Suicide Squad game being a recent one.
I am fascinated by the counts, by what keeps people playing old games. I am a dota 2 player and was just laughing with my friends about it being so old now with so little changed, but still very fun for us after going on 20 years now since dota 1.
But the people still playing older games really applies to me and others I know, we are rarely excited for a new game, and often disappointed in them if we were excited.
I play mostly older games games too. Like almost all games are pre 2020. Probably 2010-2016.
