How these estimates are made

Pixelmon

Pixelmon is estimated to have 160 – 74k players a day. Around 44k – 4m 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.

The Lord of the Rings Online

The Lord of the Rings Online is estimated to have 5k – 17k players a day. Around 410k – 1m 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.
