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.

Second Life

Second Life is estimated to have 63 – 29k players a day. Around 28k – 3m 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.
