    This may sound dumb, and I’ll google it in a second, but idk what steamdb is.

    Edit: ok, it’s a stats website or something? idk why this would be useful to the average player or the dev is upset. I don’t need to know how many people are playing XYZ game. Maybe I just play weird, indie stuff so that player count isn’t ever going to be a useful ranking metric, but why would a player care?

      For competitive multiplayer games, there’s some minimum threshold of active players required for the experience to work. If there aren’t enough users, the chances that you’ll find a game with a reasonable skill gap and latency go way down.
