How these estimates are made

Eve Online

Eve Online is estimated to have 13k – 45k players a day. Around 640k – 2m 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.

Hedgehog Creek

Hedgehog Creek is estimated to have 0 – 150 players a day. Around 370 – 43k 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.
