Never understood why GD has had such a hard time with this concept.

Because they are gamers and gamers have notoriously low iq
Most studies show the average gamer is 110-115 IQ. Thatās not low.
Worse
Much much worse
What? Gamers tend to be more developed when it comes to critical thinking skills and thinking outside of the box, however, they usually as a result are more stunted on the social elements.
It isnāt a gamer thing, itās just people being people. Itās General Discussion, a place full of people that still think WoW is in its prime. Youāre not exactly dealing with MENSA types here. Youāre more dealing with types that thought their glue bottle contents were just a thicker form of milk.

Yeah but thatās only if they have seen Rick and Morty.
I still have queue times at night. Soā¦no.
Iām sure youāre just trolling but dudeā¦ Iām not sure how this helps WoW get out of its funk. Truthfully, this attitude that Iām seeing more of lately just leans me towards unsubbing from WoW again. No one in my XIV fc talks smack about WoW when I go run an rbg or whatevs.

several of those are not MMOs. From their own website:
There are better metrics than stream views.
Limiting your metrics to stream viewership automatically skews the data based on age and amount of free time. You also have no measure of whether or not everyone who watches a streamer plays the game.
Your reasoning is specious; your argument invalid. Dismissed.

No, FF14 actually puts out real numbers, unlike blizz who hides them.

I googled it and there doesnāt appear to be any solid figure from Square Enix anywhere?
Itās external websites that uses data mainly collected from Steam.
Neither game releases their numbers. Theyāll say how many characters have been created. Just no sub numbers.

Personally I play multiple games and havenāt opened up my twitch client in years. Iām betting those numbers donāt mean much.

So, the metric that 14 goes by is based on an achievement basis. There was one achievement in Stormblood (itās the one that circulated around the Yol bird mount and it is story related), that got ticked every time someone got it which is how player count was gauged at one point in time. Not sure what theyāre doing now.
Not once you get to the gearing part of the game. Didnāt really care for Lost Arkās story or VO either.
