Oh boy, Steam metrics autism, my favorite.
First off, all fighting game metrics are abysmal by any other genre's standard. Street Fighter 6's metrics are due to Japan, while Tekken 8 and Strive (the two most popular, non-Street Fighter fighting games) have more reasonable metrics of 6,000 and 2,000 daily peak players, respectively. RoA2 hovers around 600-1,000, which is damn good for an indie fighting game that wasn't shilled like NASB or MVS. Second, metrics are fucking retarded. They have nothing to do with whether a game is good, and too many people don't know the difference between correlation and causation. RoA2 is a good game and it has a healthy future. Every single one of the following is going to attract new or returning players:
>free, new characters every 3 months
>major tournaments (especially Evo)
>console release (especially if there's cross-play)
>story mode
>side modes
>Steam workshop support
>monthly events
RoA1 is STILL alive after 9 years. RoA2 will be fine, but people just want to prognosticate doom for any game that isn't some flavor-of-the-month garbage that gets 100,000 players. The game will obviously never compete with Smash (nor should it), but It's already financially successful and stable.
I'm so sick of /v/irgins obsessing over fucking Steam player counts. It doesn't even have anything to do with this game specifically, just games in general.
