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.
