Some players now show hemic on back 4 Blood and mean: the game must be a flop, if the mental predecessor on Steam has more players.
In the last few days you could read critical articles on Back 4 Blood and Left 4 Dead 2 on many sides. Basically, it was always about a number: Left 4 Dead 2 has even after 12 years even more active players on Steam as back 4 Blood after 4 weeks.
From this often followed that Back 4 Blood must be a gigantic flop that critics had with all right and the new zombie shooter simply was not a good game.
However, in this discussion, important points are forgotten so often, so much of the reporting works quite a one-sided. Therefore, I want to clarify a few points - distribute praise, where it is appropriate and scrithit the criticism where it does not make sense.

What is it? To pay the simple comparison of two numbers. Who compares the current number of players from Back 4 Blood and Left 4 Dead 2 to Steam, gets the following values (as of 04.11.2021, 14:45 clock):Left 4 Dead 2 has 24,341 simultaneous players, with a peak of 28.313 in the last 24 hours Back 4 Blood has 19.004 simultaneous players, with a peak from 21,604 in the last 24 hours
The first guess is here: Back 4 Blood has less success than Left 4 Dead 2, an ancient game. Back 4 Blood must therefore be a flop. But that s true?
Left 4 Dead 2 - The Genre Primus Without Competition
But what you can not discuss away is the fact that Left 4 Dead 2 is still well received after 12 years. The game has experienced a faithful player and a certain upswing. After all, there were some who were looking forward to Back 4 Blood, but did not agree with the PVP mode. Others were remarked by back 4 Blood on the old classic Left 4 Dead 2 and dared back into the game again.
The game numbers of LEFT 4 Dead 2 have remained more or less constant in recent years.
However, there are several factors that you should not ignore if you compare both games.
Left 4 Dead 2 is available for the spin price: Back 4 Blood is a full price title with a purchase price of 60 € - at least on Steam. Left 4 Dead 2, on the other hand, there is a speed price. In Sales, the shooter is often reduced to 2 euros, temporarily, it was even completely free. The barrier for entry is so low that it is little surprising that the game finds great appeal. The popularity of the genre - also due to missing, solid competition - makes Left 4 Dead 2 for a long-term burner.
The Launch of Left 4 Dead 2 is smoky: Also, if you like to forget today: Left 4 Dead 2 has lost many players after the launch. Of the initial 12,000 simultaneous players, 2 months later were just under 6,000. It took several months, many patches and improvements so that the zombie shooter became established and became popular. Especially the patch and DLC policy of the game is here a good example, why a game can also work for years and now decades.
Back 4 Blood is on many platforms: What is apparently forgotten at the discussion on many sites: Back 4 Blood is not exclusively on Steam traveling. So if steam numbers are compared by Back 4 Blood and Left 4 Dead 2, that s simply not fair. After all, Back 4 Blood also exists in the Epic Games Store, in the Microsoft Store and also in the Xbox Game Pass - all possibilities to play the game on the PC.
Clear - Steam is the largest platform and will probably make up the lion s share. But how many players back 4 Blood has on the whole other platforms, we simply do not know that.
Whether back 4 Blood is really a flop, can not be said flat. About this, only developers and publishers can provide information when sales or active game figures are published.
In addition, Back 4 Blood is probably come to stay. The game should be supplied with many DLCs and already now it is clear that the developers work on numerous improvements so that back 4 Blood will succeed over months and years. Whether the strategy is concerned, we will probably be able to assess only half a year.
But even if you make back 4 blood, you have to have Left 4 Dead 2, that it is one of the very few games that have survived the decades. Left 4 Dead 2 was good at that time and is still today - and that is rewarded by the players.
How do you take this thing? Is back 4 Blood clear a flop when left 4 Dead 2 more players on Steam? Or do you have to look at everything in the context?
