Its one of those games easy to pick up and not play for awhile and then pick back up again. There is actually pretty significantly large TL chat room there about 50+ people average. Might even be higher now haven't played in a while. Also not many people use xfire. I don't and I know my friends don't so... I used to use xfire long time ago but most in game chatting gotten a lot better and with good computers you can just alt tab and see your aim / msn / yahoo messenger w/e you use. | ||

It's the same statistical method Nielson uses for TV ratings, with a constant number of PCs having XFire installed, you can interpolate if the popularity of a game is going up or down. This is a bad omen for SC2. I don't see how this is a bad omen for SC2. The graph shows "Hours by Date", meaning the number of total hours xfire users are playing SC2. It makes sense that they play many hours when the game is first released, then don't play as much after they beat the campaign/return to school/get bored of the game. This seems pretty normal to me. | ||

Its the stupidest way to count SC2 players and online SC2 trends. SC2 can never decrease like that, because you are always online, even when playing SP campaign, challenges or against the AI. So no, your post and xfire stats are totally absurd! | ||

Maybe that has something to do with it? On August 22 2010 01:35 thehitman wrote: Xfire doesn't count for shit, excuse my language. How many users really have xfire installed? Checking the source, "Xfire users playing per day 17,767 " http://www.xfire.com/games/sc2/StarCraft_II/ | ||

1.Less people are playing starcraft in general, this could just be some of the people that tried muliplayer a few times, got destroyed, then tried custom maps for a while and have now gotten bored of those. 2. The type of people that have xfire installed are less likely to play a lot of starcraft, probably because their friends (that they are talking to on xfire) are playing other games and they dont want to be left out. 3. People with xfire are realizing that they get significantly more frames per second when they play with xfire off. | ||

That only proves xfire users are mostly casual players imo... | ||
