Since the drama began, SteamDB seems to indicate...
....that the population is stable/more or less unchanged.
It will be interesting to see if it increases with the content drop, given the vocal outcry.

It's been like what, 1 day?
Pretty sure last I checked on SteamDB the average playercount is dropping though.
That's not what matters to devs, this game could lose 40k players and devs wouldn't care as long as the remaining community would spend an increasing amount on money on the game.
What will matter is who will pay the dlc with real money or not
generally i'd severely doubt something like this would have much of an impact due to most people probably not really caring
this chart does get me to do a bit of a shifty look though
Also from september 13th to october 18th there's a drop of almost 30k players so yeah, yesterday's marketing practice won't help at all
This is 100% facts. However, superficial cosmetics can only carry a company so far. Most of the skins cater to an exclusive demographic.
Hey. I'm one of those "Exclusive Demographics". Been buying every Rift since it started, even went as far as buying tiers when I was busy during that rift. Even made sure to have my killers look as unique and as different as possible to the regular skins if I can help it.
I assure you I won't be buying the current one nor any other cosmetics after this.
There are some people with more money than sense though.
It won't surprise me if that is why BHVR is supporting crypto and NFTs though, that scene is full of people like that
well I mean does that include console players
If you don't follow the forums or their twitter you wouldn't even know about this whole issue.
So i don't think the numbers will change too much
no since it just counts the users from steam
If you could refund everything you purchased at this point, would you?
well there's some of the answer
I still won't buy pinhead.
It will be interesting to see what the chart says this evening, for sure.
People who don't browse the forums or social media (which are the majority of the playerbase) haven't heard about NFTs yet.
Charts guy from nostalgia critic? Is that you?
Ah thank you, I was trying to pull up these charts earlier and couldn't find them...
There have been like 5 attempted boycotts of this game. Nothing will ever happen and people will try again and again.
The thing that you need to keep in mind with player count is the average amount of players per month for the whole year. Yeah the players are a bit down from the past couple months but they are up more than 10k since October 2020. We have gained that many players so the boycott is not doing anything at all.
Tough to get a true estimate anyway. Majority of the playerbase is on console
almost all the big content creators have already made videos on the matter. I'm sure a lot of the community are aware of it.
The vocal majority is almost always a minority.
this shits about useless. the majority aren't on the forums
I'm sorry. What drama? What' happened? Seriously asking.
63k atm, from what I'm seeing.
Under 50k and dropping atm.
Seems like DBD is unphased.
