Oh jeez... This article is just filled utter bullcrap.

Well for starters, they brag about having 150k+ range per month.

And guess what... At the time of posting this, there was:

6,339,718 online players
1,598,540 in-game players

Your puny little 150k+ per month is nothing compared to that.

Now, comparing the entire roblox website itself to the entire steam website is stupid. ROBLOX is a socializing website where you can create and play games. Steam is basically an online gamestop. Comparing the two of them alone is foolish.

For any of this to make sense, you'd need to compare certain ROBLOX games to certain Steam games.

The writer of the article is either:

A. Trying to mislead the readers because he knows the ROBLOX community is full of morons

or

B. Stupid and unintentionally misleading the readers.

150k+ per month? That's not correct, and not what the blog says.


ROBLOX often has 150K+ players online at one time, and upwards of 3 million a month.

@gordon
Then I must have read it wrong.

But 150k+ at once is still nothing to the steam stats posted in the thread.

Agreed, compared to every game on steam combined, ROBLOX isn't large. However, this post isn't comparing ROBLOX to the combined total of everything on Steam.

The purpose of this blog post is to examine how ROBLOX would rank if we were on Steam, and I think it does a good job at that. When looking at steam stats, you see each game compared to one another, not each game compared to every other game combined. That comparison would be impossible to make.

Steam is really Gaben's game fatrolls

But to be honest when ROBLOX compares how many players they have they even include the abandoned accounts and banned ones to

I'm not sure what you want me to prove... Do you want me to prove that the blog only uses active players? The blog uses charts such as hours played, number of plays, and peak players. By the very fact that those numbers are gathered by counting people who are playing, inactive accounts can't be included because they simply aren't playing.

@Gordon:
"The purpose of this blog post is to examine how ROBLOX would rank if we were on Steam, and I think it does a good job at that."

If ROBLOX was on steam, wouldn't it basically be a game hub inside a game hub?

I think of it that way and I also think the top individual games should have been compared to see where they rank on steam instead of roblox as a whole.

If ROBLOX were on steam, individual games probably wouldn't be on steam, it would just be labelled ROBLOX, so the comparison of individual ROBLOX games to individual steam games probably would never happen.
