How did you measure any off that? As far as I'm aware sot never breaks into the top 20 on twitch. And we have some ancient games in the top 20. Even valorant which is consifer a huge failure is there.

Sales? Never will know as ms only tells us players who probably at one point at least tried it. They dont even say active players or individual purchases.

Quality? By who's standard? I have never seen an outlet come out and praise how good sot is now. Granted I don't follow every outlet. But the is no buzz online of this game.

Steam put the game at 50000 playing every day, and maintaining and even growing rather then dropping. For a 2 year old game that is also on Win 10/Game Pass PC. Also #1 on PC Game Pass charts and usually floats somewhere from 9-12 on Xbox Game Pass. I really don’t know what to tell certain people that insist on being skeptical about this game, even after it has a healthy life long after people wrote it off. 

Quality id look up some re reviews. IGN, Gamespot come to mind and rated the game at least 8 (not willing to look up the exact scores because I have a suspicion you don’t care). I would imagine people of different tastes wouldn’t be talking much about it and that’s ok. It’s community is healthy and thriving and that’s all you need to know.

And it already droped dramatically since then, dint it? Meaning that it only saw that spike in popularity cuz it was available on stem finally, people played it, got bored and are moving on. That was an article from it was just launched and it was ovbiously high because it was new, now that we have more time we ee it drop. I was trying to see the drop but I cant show it. Maybe cuz its broken down into a 30 day chart and it dosent have that much time yet. I dont know. But lets wait untill that chart is available before maiking such claims. 

Gamepass? ok. It being high on a MS chart dosent really mean much in comparison.

I think Renna said all that needed to be said about the reviews.

SOT is 15 at twitch with 44.000 viewers RIGHT THIS MOMENT.

We don't know exact numbers but SOT was Xbox ones fastest selling new ip of this gen and it was at second place of Steam top sellers 2 weeks after it's release.

IGN and Gamespot has re-reviewed it and both gave it an 8. Plus, it has great user reviews on steam.

This has to be one of the most misinformed posts i have ever seen.

Great that for a time it broke the twitch top 20, but there are metrics and thats not its average. It rarely gets that high and as you can see its average is pretty bad. Sea of thieves launched on steam this june, its just spiked because is somewhat new at the moment, we gona have to wait till it settles down. As you can see in th te chartz it peaked early at 62k at it has been slowing down since then untill it eventually craters again. But i it dosent please show me again and I will happily take it back. A game getting re reviewed means nothing as the perception of the game is already that its a bad game and most people have moved on to better things. 

I can see that twitch has the last 7 days of the games activity. I tried going back but I dont seem to be able to. I would love to see the rank it had before it launched on steam. That would tell us the place it will settle down to after the hype is over.
