How these estimates are made

Hackmud

We estimate that about 170 people play Hackmud on a typical day (most likely between 81 and 520), based on data from Nov 6, 2026. Around 45,000 accounts (between 28,000 and 100,000) have played it at some point. Hackmud is on Steam, but Steam covers only part of its players, so the estimate also draws on the size of its Discord, Reddit, Twitch, YouTube and app-store communities. Confidence: low — a community-size model, not a measurement.

The Lord of the Rings Online

We estimate that about 18,000 people play The Lord of the Rings Online on a typical day (most likely between 11,000 and 30,000), based on data from Nov 6, 2026. Around 1,800,000 accounts (between 1,200,000 and 2,800,000) have played it at some point. It is anchored on Steam’s official concurrent-player count, converted to daily players, so players on other launchers or consoles may not be fully counted. Confidence: medium — Steam covers part of the player base, or several community signals agree.
