It’s actually reaching far more than 100k daily players. This many years later, and people still don’t understand what concurrent means.

I wish they had DLC plans, I loved this game. The endgame set-up is perfect, one DLC could be the Karlach/wyll ending, one could be helping Gale with his thing… Theres endless material there

The pipe dream request would be for a toolset to allow custom user campaigns and go the Neverwinter Nights route.

It’s apparently a license restriction that prevents this. Damn WotC.

This is what I kept thinking about the entire time. The amount of other campaigns I played in NWN was bonkers.

That would require you to have chosen that path through the game for it to work though?

What level of different choices would they allow, or just do it as a stand alone?

The longer the game gets the more the combinations build up and the worse the replayability gets for many players due to the length.

That’s…not quite right. The demographic into these games like the length, it’s great content and tells an awesome story. They want replayability. They want choices. They look forward to mistakes and seeing where it leads. To them length just means more time to enjoy every possible way of doing things.

Player count for a game like this doesn’t matter.

It isn’t a greedy corpo product that needs to farm engagement to fleece every cent from its players.

It’s one time purchase, I wish gamed journalism’s would drop the bullshit player counts matter for every game.

Even after no one is playing BG3 anymore they still made their money and have no more ongoing costs.

Not like fallout 76 where it costs them daily to maintain servers etc. Then it matters

Most of the player count increase is on weekends and players are genuinely returning to play on their own, not because of some event or update. Last update was many months ago and next will be in August.

My wife and I finished a local coop evil durge run this past weekend. We sat there after we quit the game and said “what game do you want to play now?”

We looked around my 700+ steam game library and over a hundred of which have multiplayer.

She says “I’d be down to like… create a new character in bg3 because character creation is fun. I want to make a big tiddy goth durge, but we just played for 10 hours so you only got me for like another 2 before bed”. To which I replied “I want to punch people into oblivion while naked as a monk because I’ve never done something so ridiculous in a game like this”.

4 hours later…

I am not making this up.

We love this fucking game. Different every time.
