Interesting Player Count Pattern...

I've noticed that while I'm working (NA East....usually), the player count is 50k+.

When I'm off work/night time in NA, the player count drops to 40k or less.

Could some regions be handling the update/gameplay shift better than others?

    is that not normal? Because during the day, everybody wants to play DbD, but then when it dark and scary, it's time to put DbD down unless you're playing with the Bois after work.

    I would have thought the opposite!

    Like with many games that have a strong EU and NA presence, there are more EU players than NA.

    With games like DOTA2, WoW, etc. you can see NA is quite casual compared to EU so it makes sense that it peaks during EU offhours and not NA. Plus Work/life balance is just generally better in EU compared to NA with less hours worked.

    On steamcharts the hours with most played for DBD is 15:00-21:30 GMT+1 (UK/IE/PT), 16:00-22:30 for FR/DE/IT/ES (etc.) or 17:00-23:30 for Russia, Turkey, Finland, Baltics etc.
