How these estimates are made

BlackMUD

BlackMUD is estimated to have 0 – 170 players a day. Around 410 – 46k 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.

Highrise

Highrise is estimated to have 590 – 2k players a day. Around 12k – 31k 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.
