There hasn't been this much action over here since around the time the game got released!
It's very odd this game that with any positive experiences you expect a number of members saying you're wrong. Seems like they are obsessed, a vendetta at times. Stop enjoying it! And some of them haven't even got the game - which is even stranger. Perhaps there's Ian and Nathan's personalities that can be abrasive to some but letting that transfer into the forums and the game is... well odd again.
Some seem to be obsessed with Steam figures but on the platform I use, the PS4, a quick check showed that 931 people participated in yesterday's daily Rivals, 1837 in the most recent weekly and 2460 in the monthly. I haven't got a fancy graph, sorry.
You had me fancying a pizza for a while!
