How these estimates are made

Defiance

Defiance is estimated to have 3 – 9 players a day. Around 240k – 620k 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.
