Diablo 4 pulling the same numbers as PoE 1

Yep you heard me right. Diablo 4 having a new season launch and everyone knows that it's a reskin season again. Almost no reason to play yet currently pulling 20k concurrent players on steam and we all know majority of playerbase is on Battle.Net, let's add at least 30k, we have 50k concurrent players as we speak for D4.

PoE 1, it's been 2 weeks since launch of a new league and we have 50k concurrent players on steam, I doubt many people on standalone but let's add 10k so we have 60k concurrent players for PoE 1 as we speak.

It is kinda insane that Diablo 4 with reskin season pulling the same number of players as PoE 1. Sure D4 just launched the season so playerbase is more than PoE 1 due to it's been 2 weeks of the new league launch. But PoE 1 is way superior game than D4 and it's only been 2 weeks.

Let's look at PoE 2 charts; PoE 2 peaked at 245k on 0.2 launch, steam alone. And it received super bad by the playerbase, we can easily say it was one of the worst league launches of PoE in general. Yet despite that, on May 4 which is more than a month (little bit) after player peak was dropped to 75k steam only.

As you can see, PoE 2 having the worst launch of a season had way more playerbase even after a month than a PoE 1 new league launch in 2 weeks, which was the most anticipated league of all time.

I understand it's hard to accept if you are PoE 1 fan, but everything is clear as day. PoE 2 is the only future of this game and the studio is not huge enough to manage both games even tho they will do that. But the numbers don't lie, people choose PoE 2 and if it was a better season launch maybe it would keep the majority of players even in 2 months of launch easily.

I think the studio needs to let go of PoE 1 and work on PoE 2 full time to make it a better game as it's the only future. They are only going to make things worse by focusing two, which may result in bad quality of leagues every time. PoE 2 is an early access game and needs more attention than PoE 1 which is a full grown adult game already and no room left to improve.

Please just accept PoE 2 is the only future already.

hoho cool.

We have the actual data for PoE 1. It is at least 65% Steam and 35% between standalone and console combined.

Why do ppl even talk about D4 at this point, nobody cares about this KFC mobile game

Wow, so glad we have forum posters deciding the best way forward on behalf of GGG.

No wonder about the same numbers since 3.26 is d2merc league

So GGG(with a game released in 2013) having the same amount of players as blizzard(with a game released in 2023) is bad for GGG? Delusional or rage bait, probably the ladder...

I feel pity for d4 players...

How can someone like that piece of sh* t

Poe1 is ok… it still need to keep playerbase alive
Poe2 is awesome. It just at start…
