Now where is your evidence showing how it doesn't contribute to the population at all? You're claiming a completly different thing as you're saying the promotion is irrelevant. Just saying something that we agreed happened does not then therefore prove that x effect then occured.Įvidence the game is being given out as a promotion. Originally posted by Kaerakh:No, it's a positive claim with no factual evidence to back it up. You and the other guy should take the time to read it. The data from the article he linked is probably the best we'll receive and handily puts both of our arguments to shame. Platypus has some good stats and arguments that do a good job of positing the situation accurately. I'm quite clearly arguing that you can take the total player count at launch and compare it to the steam player count to deduce the the non-steam player count, and get a representation of player population by distribution platform. Stash:We're speculating now, but I find it hard to believe that Ubi reported 700k units in sales and peak PC user count immediately after release is only 46k + 10% active. 10%, 30%, 45% is only speculation and there's no point in arguiing over it. The only thing we truly know is that more people own the game on uplay so it stands to reason that the total player count will be greater than steam charts shows. If we still had the feature telliing us total players online this would be settled quickly with a timestamp on the data. I only said I find it hard to believe the total PC player base at any given time is Steam Players + 10% given the 700,000 units sold. I'd be interested to see a breakdown of platform sales. We're speculating now, but I find it hard to believe that Ubi reported 700k units in sales and peak PC user count immediately after release is only 46k + 10% active.Ī) Uplay user count will always be >= Steam countī) Ubi regularly runs sales on Uplay that aren't on SteamĬ) Nvidia just ran a promotion with 10 series GPUs where you can get wildlands or for honor free as a uplay key Originally posted by Kaerakh:Which are miniscule by all accounts.īeing generous, you'll be missing only 10% of the player base if you go by launch stat comparisons. Quite the opposite.Ĭ: Yeah, I'm asking you to make me a believer in its statistical relevancy. So no, that doesn't reinforce your first point. ![]() Ubisoft's brandname and distribution platform isn't strong enough to do the same thing, which is why they partner with steam and EA doesn't. Enfocement for item a).Ī: So what, am I supposed to give them the steam player count as well, instead of simply taking the current number of players and subtracting the steam player count from it to get the current non-steam player count?ī: Yeah, exactly. This only enforces the argument of item a).Ĭ) Additional promotions will only boost the Uplay count and not be reflected on Steam. They also want to enforce their DRM (uplay) and not rely on a third party. Therefore, we know that the number of uplay users will always be greater than or equal to the number of Steam users.ī) Agreed on platform competition. Not logical fallacies.Ī) All PC For Honor games run through Uplay. Proof it was there, look at the 20sec mark: enough, this was the kind of data I was asking for. They did so most probably to try to hide the player base dying off. It used to be accessible right beside your "online friends" count (on the page where you invite friends in your party) but they removed that number about 5-6 weeks ago. Ubi decided to hide the player number statistic ingame. Originally posted by Fabulous Platypus:Steam makes up for about 54% of all the PC playerbase on For Honor : Proof it was there, look at the 20sec mark: Since there is no difference between owning the game on steam or owning it only on uplay, it is quite safe to assume that there's no significant difference between the two population so the population drops observed on the steam charts should be representative of the whole PC population. You will see a drop of ~90% players (46k to 4,4k) in 2 months exactly since release (feb 13th to april 13th). ![]() Scroll down to "player everyday" and select "3m". Steam makes up for about 54% of all the PC playerbase on For Honor :
