Insane how ARK passed all the other survivor games. Guess people really do like dinosaurs.

Yeah, especially with Jurassic park. game fun died down for me after about 4 days. Optimization is the worst i have ever seen in a game and i dont like that they basically force you to tradeskills to get any kind of damned weapon.

I cant play this game serious though, to dink around for a little bit yeah, but outside of that, nope. Maybe in a few months.

Between Jurassic World setting records and Ark I imagine pop culture is going to just be shitting out Dinosaur stuff at an alarming rate for the next few years.

That's because it's new. The others had about the same numbers at release. Giving the state of ARK it will most likely start to drop soon. Yeah, there are dinosaurs... but overall it isn't that great, especially compared to the competition.

It's still really, really high. It is quite a bit higher than most survival games have gotten (most likely the highest) or even how rather big games like Cities: Skylines have gotten (which peaked at I think 60K during the launch). It's higher than Rust has ever gotten (58K peak) or the stand-alone DayZ (45K peak). So yeah, it's doing exceptionally well.

EDIT: Yeah, see above, it really has blown the bank for a release.

I'm not seeing where he's wrong. ARK skyrocketed past DayZ and a few other's first month sales. But as you see in that graph, the longer the game has been on market/age the lower the playercount starts to dip until it's in the 25,000 player territory with some spikes now and then (updates?) for the player-base to race between.

Waframe!!

DE has done a great job with Warframe. I stopped playing last summer after sinking 1000 hours into it, and at that time it would rarely break 10k concurrent players. It's consistently above 20 now.

Jumping back into it now is such a daunting task for me since I literally had everything in the game at the time I stopped playing, and so much content has been added since then that I wouldn't even know where to begin

Those numbers are pretty damn impressive. Remind me, has Dota reached concurrent 1 million peak yet? If not it's getting close, which is pretty damn impressive.

It's insane that it has a higher peak than a lot of big AAA releases get on Day 1.

Yes, it reached 1.2m during New Bloom in February.

It seems so. It is truly impressive that Steam seems to remain largely unaffected by the next gen console launch and it continues to grow. I was expecting some temporary contraction but it doesn't appear to be the case at all. Not to mention that the two most popular games on Steam are Valve titles. I mean, goddamn.
