[QUOTE="trash80, post: 286289, member: 7578"] These numbers are not actually what you think they are, and in the case of TPA, it is extremely flawed due to how the calculated number was factored. As a Steam publisher/developer I could go into detail, but it is safe to say that the total TPA unique free user download and installed (but who knows if ever played) over the life of the appid was in the 75,000-100,000 range and has been on Steam since 2014. While FX3 is closer to the actual truth with roughly 50,000+ at that point in time, and has only been available since late 2017. I don't recall seeing the FX2 tallies, but I think the store page had already been removed by that time. Anyway... none of the old Steamspy or leaked numbers have ever been accurate enough to determine actual sales ranks within a genre (we get specific to publisher data directly from Valve) but it was realistic enough to establish a baseline or determine a trend back in the day. Also, this competition thing is funny... most people I know that play digital pinball own ALL the pinball games on Steam, while Star Wars and Marvel and (other license) fans own only the Zen tables and rarely venture out into the actual pinball space. This fan behavior pattern has changed dramatically though with the release of the WMS tables, and I expect it to shift even more so once the Stern tables are released. And if Gary gets his wish for same day/date of physical and digital release, things will be quite amazing for us fans of all of the above. [/QUOTE]
