One big positive about ESO on Steam - show player count?

No one has any idea about how many people actually play this game. Steam's software tracks the number of concurrent users who are in the game (who logged in through Steam first of course).

It won't show players who don't add their copy of eso to Steam but at least we'll be able to see all those new players online.

Skyrim is usually in the top 10. Where do you think eso will be in the listing?

    I don't think the population will grow by that much thus we cannot really guess on the population as a whole.

    I have no idea where it will be, probably not at such a nice position.

    You try to compare apples and oranges.

    First of all I do not see why someone who will buy the game even from steam, going play the game via the Steam client after the first few days.

    What is the point of added lag, and a layer added on the game. Heh, we even close the normal launcher on the current version.

    Second, it will not represent the community. What if they are 10 or 100 people there?
    Mean something?

    Skyrim needed Steam to register it and play it, you couldn't circumvent it only by having a pirated copy. TESO doesn't.

    This stats say nothing about the eso population. Even with this stats you will never know how big or small the population is, because you can't see players who already bought the game without steam.

    As I said in my comments, the Steam stats will show the new players coming into the game through Steam.

    Saw the twitch streams.

    Even at half price and the dog, the steam people are asking "Is this game worth it?"

    They should've given the dogs to the people who actually want them.
    People keep telling me they're gonna buy me an ale. They never do.

    There are only two things I can't stand in this world. People who are intolerant of other people's culture. And the Elves.
