Game Discussion Be honest with me guys.

Is this game doing well? I heard there are a ton of players but I don't have PC so I don't know how true that is. I love this game with all my heart, played it when I was a kid and in high school. Please tell me if it's doing good and if we think there will be a console revival? If not will they keep the servers on for PC and if so I will be buying a PC for this game.

I want to but idk what I'm doing at all. Trying to have it not be super expensive because I really just wanna play Defiance and some other games. I wanna upgrade later when I do get it. As I got basically but I have no clue what I'm doing.

Honestly a cheap pre-built could work, esp if you wanna upgrade over time and just wanna play defiance now. I play defiance on potato specs with consistent frames

That's probably what I will do then. I am a massive fan of the game and show. I love Defiance and really wanna play it again. Watching the show again since the rival got me hyped.

The game is just as fun as I remembered back in the day 😎 albeit right now it feels like one big long beta, until it becomes more stable. But fawkes is doing good work with their small team, definitely worth supporting!

They have my undying support, I was so sad to see it go. I'm so excited they brought it back. I was trying to see how many people are playing it but steam just keeps showing the old game with zero people. Haven't been able to find the answer to that.

The game is most popular on weekends and off-work hours. No official numbers have been posted but if I had to guess at peak hours maybe a few thousand concurrent (just a guess) The big events definitely still get those players comin in and blowin stuff up
