"Most of Starfield's player counts, even by your own "evidence", is outside of Steam."
Well considering the player counts spread out between Xbox purchasers, Xbox GP users, Steam purchasers, Xbox PC store purchasers, PC GP users, and cloud... Lol, I'm pretty confident on PC specifically there's more people playing on Steam than GP.
"Therefore, Starfield success or failure doesn't have that much to do with steam."
Nobody even called or inferred it was a failure though lol. Is this why your DCing so hard?
"Second, comparing Cyberpunk user counts to Starfield is just as, if not more dumb, because the peak player counts of Cyberpunk are almost 2.5 times more."
Well the only thing being compared here is, once again, the CONCURRENT HIGHS for Starfield and 3 year old CP77's DLC from the 26th. Statisticians of the world would disagree with your statement regardless.
"You believe what you want, I be over here in reality pointing and laughing at you."
Sure, buddy.
"I'm out - stop staking me."
You're the one who began this convo today. You should have left it alone and saved yourself from looking so foolish. I'm honestly far more inclined to talk to you now, cya around.
@dabear: "That's comparing Cyberpunk to Starfield in Steam concurrent player counts."
FTFY
"That number is really only relevant if the user base was similar."
You wish that was true.
"there have almost 250% more Cyberpunk players on Steam than Starfield."
Yep, CP77's concurrent number from 3 years ago was much higher than Starfield's peak.
"Let that sink in for a second. Now, re-read the article headline: "After Phantom Liberty Launch, Cyberpunk 2077's Steam Player Count Leaves Starfield In The Dust"
Another headline could have been, "A patch and DLC have skyrocketed 3 year old CP77's concurrent player numbers far past hyped up to the moon AAA Starfield's on Steam." That would have really rustled your jimmies, huh?
"CLEARLY, CowSpot is using Steam concurrent player counts as a metric to compare the two. And again, the problem is, most Starfield players are playing the game ON GAME PASS, NOT STEAM."
Who cares? There's a bunch people playing CP77 on GOG or through GeForce now, there's loads of variables to this stuff that you ignore. You're throwing a tantrum over an article instead. I highly doubt you have the numbers to prove more people are playing Starfield through GP than Steam on PC though.
"The highest player count for Starfield is less than 1/2 the highest count for Cyberpunk -because most people playing Starfield are not playing it on Steam."
Literally nobody made the claim that the majority of people are playing on Steam... You're arguing with yourself, stop moving goalposts and you won't have that issue.
*Cyberpunk 2077 launched on December 10, 2020. 18 days after launch, it's player count fell to 225,670, or fell to 27.1%
No matter how you look at it, Starfield is doing better on Steam than Cyberpunk, even after this "2,0" launch. And, given that Starfield has (even by your "estimates") five times the players outside of Steam, your points again, fall flat.
Give up.
So CP77 currently has highs of over 100,000 more concurrent players (3 years after launch BTW) than Starfield yet you think Starfield is doing better? LMAO!!! Your math still sucks. Even when trying to cook numbers you still fall flat. All this nonsense simply because you're a massive fanboy. The other dude is right, you are incredibly insecure, and I'm bored of you now.
@dabear: Steam Spy has been proven to be accurate for over a decade lol... Literally always within range. I am right, your 3.3% BS was objectively wrong, and you're now just desperately flailing nonsense around and calling me a cow. You're a goof at this point. I'll be sure to let all the pollsters know that dabear from Gamespot doesn't think 20% of a userbase is enough data LMAO!
