    Player count for a game like this doesn’t matter.

    It isn’t a greedy corpo product that needs to farm engagement to fleece every cent from its players.

    It’s one time purchase, I wish gamed journalism’s would drop the bullshit player counts matter for every game.

    Even after no one is playing BG3 anymore they still made their money and have no more ongoing costs.

    Not like fallout 76 where it costs them daily to maintain servers etc. Then it matters

      Most of the player count increase is on weekends and players are genuinely returning to play on their own, not because of some event or update. Last update was many months ago and next will be in August.
