Because no one has beaten it yet! Seriously I’m 95 hours in and at Act 3 and there is still at least another 20 or so hours of me playing before I get to what I’m assuming is the final quest.
Great fucking game. And I’m someone who likes playing shooters and racing games.
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.
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
Its got a multiplayer component right? That’s likely the biggest contributing factor to this. I doubt these numbers are all people playing the game solo.
'cause it takes months to finish
