I've manually collected data for the number of games created between two points of time, at intervals of 180 days (about 6 months). There seems to be about 1.8 million games created every 180 days post-pandemic and has remained steady. The current number of games created is higher than pre-pandemic levels.

Wow beautiful! Millions of games a year, could anyone have envisioned this in 2010? Simply amazing

tbh since I started in 2015 never had problem finding players for RoR games

Thanks.

Can anyone give an estimate or calculation of how many games of those are "strategic"? I think we have quite objectively set the standards for strategic games in other threads, so giving an estimate would not be an issue.

Or putting that the other way around might be even easier: how many of those games carry the word "lotto" in their title or are on a lotto template?

I think we can agree based on the most recent "What makes a game strategic?" thraed, that there is not that one definition. ^^

Lottery became a thing once the points and levels system was introduced. It’s impossible to know for sure, but Fizzer and 5s are in the best positions for stats on the games themselves.

Just added accounts created by date... fewer people are making accounts these days than in 2011.

Cool to know i created my account during the peak ( 05 2016)
