How these estimates are made

Cities XL

Not enough data collected to estimate this game yet.

Runescape

Runescape is estimated to have 8k – 28k players a day. Around 470k – 1m 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.
