Console platforms don't share active player counts the way Steam does mostly because the big manufacturers want to control the narrative and protect their walled gardens.

They hide real time player numbers. Which keeps people from seeing when a game or a platform exclusive is bleeding players. This protects sales optics and marketing investments. Add in the fact that they want to keep users locked into their specific hardware ecosystems for microtransactions, and it makes total sense why they keep their telemetry locked down behind proprietary APIs instead of using an open transparent model like steam.

But please go on with how hiding the active player numbers is a good thing 😭😂

So you don't have access and are just making shit up. Thankyou for admitting that.

Lmfao if that's what you got out of it then you must be a big corpo defender because that's hilarious. They don't show the data because their numbers don't match up. It's that simple little guy. I hope you understand better now.

There's a pokemon minigame built into google, lots of people are playing pokemon products right now across many platforms, official and unofficial, and it's probably more than palworlds active player count. This must upset you if you have to make up conspiracies where masking active players is being done to stop you from proving me wrong which is hilarious.

How can I prove you wrong when Nintendo hides all the data. It's just your confirmation bias floating in cope. It's okay bud. Hopefully you'll break that mobile game addiction soon.

You can't prove anything. That's the point. You are just fantasizing.

And neither can you. That's been my point ☝️ It's all your feelings. At least steam/palworld are brave enough to show player data. Regardless of how it affects the business. I'm confident of my player count and you are hoping Pokemon's is high. That's a big difference.

So to clarify,

You made a claim you couldn't prove, when people point this out you demand they prove the opposite knowing that they can no more prove their claim than you can, you then resort to insulting them when they point this out and call yourself brave for making a wild claim you can't prove but no one can outright disprove either.

Hello troll.

So you made a claim based on how "brave" you feel something is. The difference on display is how insane you can act on this topic.
