Diablo IV down to just 40,000 daily users....vs 7 million simultaneous users

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2uEKI_u4eMQ

A greater that 99% drop. I have the game and its just boring. I got to level 30 before I couldn't play it anymore. I understand I find it boring for different reasons than most, but getting rid of the kill combo system was bullchit. You're just holding down a button for hours now hoping that blizzard hasn't nerfed your strategy.

discuss. Surely there are D4 defenders here despite the ENTIRE gaming community turning their back on this game.

I haven't bought or played it but I lol'd when I heard they made most of the loot untradeable.

Between that and not having 8 player open lobbies with pvp in Diablo 3, it's like they have no idea why the series was popular and why people still play Diablo 2 23+ years later.

It's just made up bs for yet another "zomg Blizz is FINISHED!!!4" vid, since we're now in that part of the Blizzard love/hate influencer cycle.

Think they're maybe referencing this site's numbers (https://activeplayer.io/diablo-4/) which are of course completely worthless, since Blizzard is the only entity that knows the numbers and they sure as hell won't be releasing any of them. That site is maybe using some self reported schit or Steam numbers, which might not be that relevant since it's a Battle.net game. No idea whether there are any reliable player count aggregating sites for consoles.

Thing is that Blizz absolutely did make bank with D4's release while also having many legitimate issues and a lackluster S1.

Come S2 there will be an upswing in "omg guise, Blizzard actually listened, D4 is great again" vids, then after a couple of weeks we'll be back to "omg guise, Blizzard failed yet again, they're done for".

Yeah number seems off. The highest concurrent number on the steam charts ever was PUBG with 3.2 million which was insane. 2nd place was CSGO way down the line with 1.8 million.

That 6-7 million could be number of estimated unique players, but yeah, absolutely zero chance that those were concurrent numbers.

No shocker, video games are largely dead. I predicted this one would die out just like that p.o.s. halo 6.

Remakes / Remasters and a handful of some new originals are the only things to look forward to. All that processing power and advanced graphics mostly wasted.

Games generally drop in usage over time.

I’ll never understand this “less people are playing it months later so game was a failure”. Often used just to console war (not in this case). People move on to other games. Not everything needs to have hundreds of thousands of players for months/years on end to be a success

I never understood people who wanted to grind these games other than playing through the story.

Playing through once then maybe another play through with different char a year later or so is all I would ever expect. Grinding and online play seems dumb to me I would play something else for that.

When I was younger I could understand grinding, now I just mostly play games with friends. Solo games such as Starfield we are all in discord while playing, so close enough.

Sure but to be fair, D4 dropped an absolute FUKTON due to the backlash it got. Numbers are absolutely abysmal. I don't deny that at all, just the 7 million concurrent one.

I think it has to do with games from years (or decades) past having a stronger impact over a significantly greater time span. Starcraft, for example. The Halo games from Bungie, Gears from EPIC, same with a lot of Nintendo stuff. Sure none of the online multiplayer games kept day one / early numbers, but they maintained a very strong user base afterward. Whereas Diablo IV dropped big time, same with Halo Inifnite. When those earlier games neared the end of their life spans, most people were excited for the next installment, because the game they're playing today is so great. Most people look at sequels, or follow ups with pessimism now with good reason.

I do understand there are youtube / online personalities that are shills and will ass kiss the game and its developers and then shift 180 when the popular opinion remains standing after all the fluff and 'respectfully' critique the game and the developers, but those people are full of sh!t to begin with and they're just showing out for money / views.

The quality is just no longer there for certain franchises, maybe there are some new ones that tick all the boxes for the consumers, but on a personal level, there isn't much that interests me. Still wondering if The Last Night is ever going to release, that's one that piqued my interest.

Can't sell cosmetics and battle passes if people aren't playing. Checkmate blizz.

Most streamers/content creators have jumped ship cause the viewership just isn't there.

the game sucks, most people played through the campaign once and quit. cant trade and 99.999% of the drops are meaningless. Game is built around squeezing you for microtransactions.

game is all about builds and loots. most of the builds are boring as **** and the loot sucks, dead game

It's a full priced ARPG with seasonal content/patches, Twitch literally doesn't matter since Blizz already made bank during the very first week and streamers will keep returning for each and every season release.

If streamer numbers and concurrent players mattered then PoE should have been dead for several years.

It's always popular to try and schit on Blizz, but the thing is that they have really figured out their paying audience and know exactly how to milk them.

the season is ending soon, most of the people are done with the season and there no point in playing it any longer and those people into ARPGs will return to see what the new season 2 is like, probably play it for two-three weeks and quit again only to come back in season 3 rinsing and repeating.

...yea the game will never be as popular as release date


but there will always be the youtubers that have their channel filled with hate for any game just to get clicks, and people who watch them just to side because they want to feel right.

Like i was saying, the game is trash. I spent $100 on it and i didn't even want to finish the campaign nearing the end. The fact that no one wants to play it is proof.... D2 still stands the test of time and the last real diablo experience.
