How these estimates are made

Ashes of Creation

Ashes of Creation is estimated to have 45 – 160 players a day. Around 350k – 880k accounts have played it in total. The range is anchored on Steam’s official concurrent-player and review counts, then converted to daily actives and accounts — so it covers the Steam player base and will under-count a game played mostly through its own launcher or on console.

Lineage II

Lineage II is estimated to have 41 – 19k players a day. Around 14k – 1m accounts have played it in total. No Steam data is published for this game, so the range is modelled from the size of its Discord, Reddit, Twitch, YouTube and app-store communities. It is a rough band rather than a measurement.
