How these estimates are made

Guild Wars

Guild Wars is showing no measurable concurrent players on Steam. Around 450 – 1k 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.

Phantasy Star Universe

Phantasy Star Universe is estimated to have 9 – 4k players a day. Around 9k – 850k 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.
