How these estimates are made

DC Universe Online

DC Universe Online is estimated to have 2k – 5k players a day. Around 390k – 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.
