I think people are quick to dismiss FF14, because it was never as popular as World of Warcraft... But people forget theres still like 14-15m players playing FF14. Its not unreasonable to see the playtime cards doing well on amazon. |
Actually Square Enix revealed not long ago that they had 16M players registered all time since 2010 just a month ago. Not sure if Square ever released any active player count but according to https://ffxivcensus.com/ there's roughly 670k active characters worldwide.
So while I dont know how legit that website is, there's not 14-15M currently playing the game based on Square Enix numbers alone, but the game has increase a ton over the last two years and is very much in a super positive trend since the last expansions.. especially compared to juggernaught WoW who has kind of been in a dwindle after BFA released.
