I would give them the full benefit of the doubt that those low play time accounts are bank alts. Which means they have about ~3.5-4k players and nearly all of them use bank alts. The alternative, of course, is that over 50% of the potential player base noped the fuck out immediately, which would be very, very bad.

Given that its a free to play test, designed for retiree/disability types, who have fixed incomes and have plenty of free to play options in similar vein amongst emulator/private servers, and they refuse to launch on steam and wont have any marketing budget, they'll be lucky to convert 10% of them to paying customers. So maybe 300-500 subscribers total for launch.

maybe they'll catch a few whales who will 54 box that will prop up the numbers a bit but still not looking likely that this will ever be full time employment for anyone.

This game isn’t meant to take your full attention. I got a window with stuff partly showing so I can see when to heal. Otherwise I’m working or playing some other game or watching tv or whatever else. It’s a great chill experience. Reminds me of eq when I used to literally study for hours while xp’ing

I said that last week. It's a game you do other shit while playing.

I don't know that that's a ringing endorsement.

12k on servers seems a bit high.

if shawn reads this, reach out if you want, i can offer a primary and colo datacenter services for server hosting. not sure what you do, but those costs look like by compute and or egress. a lot of smaller private cloud data centers will just do flat costs and i imagine your servers dont need incredible resources. maybe you're doing baremetal though.

nm im retarded, 12k for 4 year range makes sense
