Bungie,
Can you tell us in one of your future TWABs why D2 playerbase is declining and what’s your plan to prevent that.
FYI: The above link (chart) shows steam population only from one major expansion to another. The chart shows the following 2 problems… a major decline in returning players at the start of each expansion, and another declining trend the very next month right after the release of each expansion.
Here is another chart showing today’s D2 Population for Steam, PSN, and Xbox

Although it shows steam population around 50% the more realistic number is around 35% for each of these platforms (including steam). Regardless of the exact percentage… steam population on average represents one-third of the overall playerbase… and that can be used as a viable indicator that there is a major problem for steam D2 playerbase.
Lastly, I suspect that console playerbase is facing a similar trend in decline from one major expansion to another. Although I do not have any numbers to back up such statement.

1 ReplyBecause after WQ story, this game fell so flat even Gumbie was jealous. It's a real shame. This season has been so boring. One of the worst, for me. The dungeon is totally un-fun. There's no reason to be canon fodder in Trials right now. I can't comprehend how some of you can stomach the aerial zone after all we've been through. The loot is bloated, and crafting is not immersive. Hell, even that pendulum swing is off and is now clipping into the turny thing. It's just boring man. The seasonal story mission narrative was fine, but the Leviathan was well....the Leviathan. More bounties. More check boxes. More of the same. I paid for it, so Ill log in..but I have little hope of this turning around.
