For the last several months we sure had a lot of fun laughing at dead games, but what about those that aren't particularly alive, but still just don't drop to 0 players?
What kind of autism feeds these people?

The childish hope that someday, somehow, the good old days will come back.
I'm quite sure that at least 300 of those are people that spent outrageous amounts of money in it and now cling to hoping that someday their investment will make them happy.

Who doesn't have such autism? Really it is either hope that something better will come or suicide. Especially in terms of vidya because it has really gotten to shit.

Certainly, if they thought about the money they wouldn't spend it like that.
Their actions and hopes are unconscious and it's really hard to come to terms with your addictions and how much of a idiot you were by wasting so much in such a unimportant thing as microtrasactions in a online game.

>Altberg told me that today, about 900,000 users log into Second Life every month. Au said that figure might be a little misleading, explaining that the virtual world sees about 600,000 monthly active users, and about 300,000 first-time visitors who try it once and never come back.

A lot of servers would have these stations where you could afk at like $2 in linden money per hour. It'd be something like mopping the floor or that. I guess they did it to keep the server from being completely empty, and there are bots that farm these. So who knows how many of those are bots. I remember last time I checked into second life I wandered around and the entire world felt like a desolate post apocalyptic wasteland. Buildings and all these artistically done locations that look like where created over a process of 1000s of hours and probably went through several iterations improving it each time.
Completely abandoned.

Age of Wushu autist here; i've been playing for over three years. The reason i'm still playing is if i were in any other game, i'd just be wasting time there that i'd ultimately lose if i quit. I still here goals to accomplish here, and until then i'll keep going. I regret not quitting pretty much every day, though, and i feel like i'm close-ish to finally stopping.
On the other side of the coin, there's another guy that's been playing for about as long but on entirely different servers to the one i've been on, but he actually enjoys it like some kind of faggot because he PKs a lot and actually wins fights.

I played Spiral Knights for six months just to get all the achievements, because i decided to do it and i did it. Some time later, the one achievement that took about two or three months on it's own got removed, so maybe it wasn't worth it after all.

Just a little technicality - spiral knights aren't limited to steam players. The game is possible to play standalone. So there might be a small additional player base outside of steam.

Smash autists are keeping it alive. It was in early access for a long time and when it "released" they didn't advertise it as a full game, they just doubled down on pleasing the early access crowd. The kid of autists that will play turtles smash up because it has smash in the title or wants to master it because Mang0 plays it. The tournaments have a decent pull for the numbers, much better than the lethal league scene which has about the same concurrent players. I think LL is the better game, but these idiot devs do not have a good game plan. They are releasing DLC characters, but they are paid because its out of early access. Their only real sales will come from the fact that any tournament, even a side gig at a smash tourney, needs to have the full roster.

Not crossplay, more like a version parity. Basically they used the same console version for both pc and console (although the russian version was already using it). PC version recently got an update however, and devs said they were going to balance both pc and console versions differently, so no more recoiless weapons.

You could give it a try if you have some gear already. Mind that the shop is disabled and you can't buy anything at the moment, but there's a serverwide 2x money boost going on.
There's also a revamp on the loadout system (lets you pretty much change everything minus the name, even your icon and sex too, and you can make up to fucking 50 of them all for free, but it feels unfinished and it's not very practical to change or modify them).
Using gear (not tactical gear like the healthpack) is also a slightly bit more of a pain now.

I did mention >>14224588 and but that was a few years ago. I haven't played for long since then and only now I've reinstalled the game and noticed about the new changes I've mentioned on >>14239432 and >>14237346 2-3 days ago.
In addition to that, the devs are also merging both US and EU accounts into a single one and working on tidying up the merge for next month's update it seems. They should also open up the shop by then.
I forgot to tell you there is also a change in the leveling system - It now has a cap of lv100, but it's much quicker to level up. You can also reset your level at cap to obtain golden versions of equipment after certain amounts of resets. How it affects gear unlocking I don't know since you can't buy anything yet.
