Steam Charts Thread - Game Performance Central

[Breadbassket]

Discussing how a game is performing, either in a good or bad way on Steam Charts.

Here's a comparison of The Sims series on Steam, and inZOI. Do note that the games are also available on the EA app, (and TS4 is also available on the Epic Games Store), in addition to the old CD versions of the older games (since the Legacy Collections for TS1 and TS2 introduced new game bugs since EA messed with the source code):

The Sims 1 Legacy Collection:


The Sims 2 Legacy Collection:


The Sims 3 (do note that it was released on Steam on the same day as physical copies, June 2009):


The Sims 4 (it was released about 6 years after it's September 2014 release on Origin and physical copies):

The spike in October 2022 was due to the base game becoming Free-to-play.

inZOI:


And TS4 Stans will STILL use Steam charts to feebly justify the game being better than past Sims games.

Banana is awfully popular.



People like their clicker games I guess.

I don't understand why this would need its own thread. I could see talking about this in threads for the games specifically but as it's own thread it just seems like it's going to be appeals to popularity dickwaving. Yes I understand this was apparently a thing on 4chan.
