Steamcharts isn't lying lmao, its accurate player numbers. And its only from steam, not even from all the platforms people play this game on.

I am not saying steamcharts is lying. I have the same data from this site. What I am saying is that YOU are lying, making claim based on feelings how you interpret curve. I gave you player retention data based on steamcharts data on day 14.11.2025 with 2 last recent leagues.
So claim "Looks more healthy than other leagues to me" is false. That's why I am asking you. How did you get to this conclusion?

I got to the conclusion cus I'm having fun. Just vibes.

Don't forget that for Crucible they were heavily promoting via streamers too. Just looking at bland numbers without contextualising them and rationalising leads nowhere

The economy:

Hoooly its so good this time. Divs aren't 200c+, they're still around 128 which is amazingly healthy. All my gear was dirt-cheap, one of my items was only 25 divines when usually it was 50-60 in previous leagues. This is how the game should be, no broken interactions for people to abuse in t17s means the economy won't break on day 5 because of people over-farming and bug-abusing. Its just amazing.

qft

better than hyperinflation at least, yes

yes, hyperinflation is awful. Those leagues its just better to play ssf.

Can we really call it a “review” when most of the challenges were basically carried for us?
It’s like trying to make critic of a dish we’ve only seen in a photo, acting like we know the taste without ever taking a single bite.

I quite literally say in my post that I did them all solo except t17s and uber bosses cuz I was too lazy, paying someone a few divs was faster. I speedrun the challenges, ofc I'm gonna choose the fastest,easiest way to do em.

The 50,000 map quant challenge I did by buying up people's 8-mod Mesa maps in asynch trade, for only 3-4c each and 750 gold per map. I just rushed to the boss while chain-opening them lol, that challenge would have taken me days if I hadn't done this Mesa strat.


It most certainly is a review, I saw all the new content, I played a lot of the league mech kek, that's what happens when you play all day every day nonstop.

He has a point. Title imply that you did 40/40 by yourself.

It really doesn't imply anything. People can assume whatever they want, the title would say "solo" or something to clarify if someone has really done them all.

And besides that, I don't think many people even care if you've done the challenges yourself or not. They're just free mtx and totem poles for your hideout, all they are is a thing to keep people that like collecting stuff coming back league after league. People like me. Its a pretty good business model lol

When someone slaps “40/40 Review” on something, most people assume the writer actually completed the 40/40 challenge and is speaking from personal experience. It’s not a legal contract or anything, but the phrasing carries that vibe. If you didn’t mean to suggest you did the whole thing yourself, the title is doing you zero favors.

If your goal is just to review the league as a whole, not your personal completion, you might want to tweak the wording so you don’t accidentally cosplay as a challenge finisher.

Imagine getting your opinion from an AI chatbot, dude.

We're so cooked.
