So, after Ascension, we saw a really great fall which continued to fall and fall until Reloaded Games bought Hawken.

 

You don't see even the Ascension update on Steam charts though. The "great fall" didn't come from players that specificly liked the Ascension changes and left the game. First the number spiked from about under 1000 (pre-Steam) to about 8000 because lots of new players started to play Hawken when it was moved to Steam. The "great fall" came from the game not being able to retain players and being buggy in general (like crashing).

Ascension was in September 2013.

 

The move to Steam was in February/March 2014.

 

Here's a chart where you can see the spike due to Hawken being moved to Steam and becoming available for the public ("Early access release"):

The meh player retention, was that a result of people not enjoying Hawkens the current meta?

The grind was too costly and tall to retain the majority of steam players past a couple of months.

 

I think the graph also shows a disappointment in the updates.

 

Reading between the lines the steam release did not generate enough money to get any where near out of the hole. The writing was on the wall and the graph shows it. You see when the axes started falling

 

 

I do see the upward trend starting.

I feel like using that chart to "prove" anything other than the basic data it presents is just asking for trouble and soapboxes.

Lets hope we can keep this month's upward trend for the coming months until content rolls out sometime later in the year.
