    Hmmm not sure about that steam stats are
    12,006 playing now
    13,593 today's peak
    29,979 all-time peak

    Steam is a snapshot of players on that platform. It doesnt reflect anyone not using it and anyone not even on PC.

    Nope there are some on this forums whose reason for living is to tear the game down until it closes.

    No matter what Zenimax does the game will be a dying scam that eats babies and is responsible for all the worlds pain.

    I wouldn't use steam as a yards stick for anything, folks are bailing from steam like rats from a sinking ship due to thier draconian Refund policies (which they are getting their asses sued off for btw) and the fact that the community makes 4chan look like the musical group "Up with people"


    Steam is no longer the Mac Daddy of gaming platforms

    But ... But don't you know? Elder Scrolls Online is dead and has been dying since April 4th 2014! ;)

    To be fair though, it did have a hideously bad original release. So kudos to ZOS for bringing it back from the brink of collapse at the beginning and making it into the game it is today, even if I find some choices questionable.

    Sorry to tell you, but read the first comment of the article. This list is completely biased and probably bought. The list starts with World of Warcraft? Like Seriously? The forums are flooding with critics, because there is absolutely nothing to do until next expansion. That is over half a year where absolutely nothing is added to the game and this one should be the healthiest?

    This article is a farce reading some other titles. Eso does deserve being higher on this list, though.

    @Bodycounter
    While I am not a fan of WoW, I cannot argue that it still ranks as a top MMO.

    It is still able to require a subscription and probably still has more subscribers than ESO has had in total combined with FF which I believe also requires a subscription. WoW also still develops new content.

    Just because do not like the game or feel it is so old school cartoony in appearance and style of play does not mean it is not still healthy.

    @alainjbrennanb16_ESO
    Steam stats are meaningless for ESO. It is a fraction of PC users and does not include console. It can also be argued the type of player does not reflect the overall playerbase here. It certainly cannot be argued it does reflect it.

    not everyone plays through steam.... no one (like me) who bought the game in the first year or so plays through steam. bear in mind the game shipped around 750 000 copies on release.

    This is entirely true. I came back to wow couple times seeing what it's like. It's empty, vacant of new players altogether. It's just addicts that can't quit the game for their gear, mounts and achievements outweight their lives.

    Not to mention the community has become much more toxic and lacking in people who play for fun, it's really just a giant ingame ego contest.

    I recently resubbed to WoW and I see a lot of players in the cities and popular leveling zones like Stranglethorn. I think more players are leveling again since they scaled all the content similar to how eso does.

    You know....every time I read a post like this I think about the sub Redditt I read a couple years back....where WoW players were having a rage fit over ESO success......

    Anyway WoW is doing great in the same way FFXIV, ESO, and GW2 are doing great....none of these games are getting the lions share of customers but they are all still very profitable.

    I would guess that most people are playing from the client. I know not to buy games with cash shops and their own launchers on Steam. Resolving any purchasing issues when they arise is a huge PIA. Launchers launching from Steam are also annoying and buggy. And that's coming from someone with 150 games on Steam (I'm a huge supporter of the platform and buy 99% of my games on it).
