How these estimates are made

MapleStory

MapleStory is estimated to have 18k – 63k players a day. Around 290k – 740k 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.

Project Cataclysm

Project Cataclysm is estimated to have 7 – 3k players a day. Around 4k – 380k 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.
