Holy shit the new hat is actually really cool - I'm kind of surprised that they didn't make the hat the reward for reaching the kill milestone though

I suspect you'll fail that one. :P

You mean the ~3,000 playerbase aren't going to individually kill 185,000 rats each?

Concurrent players on one platform is a very different thing to daily active users across them all :'D

Thank you fatshark for creating 2 games that literally changed my life.

When I was in a bad place for a couple of years, your game (predominantly vt2) was my only escape. It allowed me to find people to talk to, make friends, have so many crazy fun times, laughing our asses off and sharing all our stories whether they were personal or game-related. Your game has also been such a creative outlet for me, inspiring all my weird memes, videos and fan art.

I have had both an unhealthy and a healthy relationship with VT2. The addiction is real! XD

But ultimately your game allowed me to build an amazing friendship over the last 2 & 1/2 years with one particular person, and then out of the blue, something we never expected happened.. we fell for each other.

So it’s 3 weeks until he comes to meet me in person for the first time, and we are crazy excited.

I couldn’t be more grateful to you Fatshark for this game that changed my entire life. :) Thanks to the whole FS team <3

<3

Any news that this bundle will be available.on Xbox or PS?

I've checked and there is no bundle.

Sadly the bundle only works on Steam this time around.

That data (2.9% players have all chars 30+) is certainly thrown out by the fast turnover in lower levels and large number of people who buy the game and barely play it, or play it a bit and quit. As a result, active playerbase will differ significantly from the actual full number of people who own the game. I mean v2 has sold 2m+ copies but only has 3-4k players active at a time.

For example, out of everyone that bought the game, 20% didn't even complete the prologue, only half have completed 'Act 1' and 75% have not beaten skittergate on veteran difficulty. It's a safe bet that most of the 75% are inactive.

Not that it makes much off a difference but there was a bug for a while where players didn't get the prologue achievement - and it wasn't uncommon a bug either. Some veterans still don't have it (they would get it if they ran the prologue again since the bug was fixed however).

Ah interesting cheers.

I should say this is by no means a dig at the game- this pareto like distribution is common to all games, it's the reason I have little to none hours on the majority of my steam games, and a ton of hours on just a few (V2 included).

For example, in perhaps the most similar game L4D2 less than 40% of purchasers have completed the first campaign on any difficulty. Several of the other campaigns stand at less than 20% of purchasers. Any steam game or personal steam library shows the same pattern.

Yes absolutely! No shade felt from our end! It's just another contributing factor.

I've also not played 55% of the games I own on Steam (to my absolute horror, but some of them are just not my cup of tea and came in bundles).
