So we now have our first evidence of the impact of NolanT getting caught behaving badly. More than 10,000 additional games per month were run on FG following the late September incident. Not all of them stuck around, and some of that increase is no doubt due to the release of WDDH and DoMM, but compared to the June increase, it seems most of that was due to the NolanT incident.
So, 10k games, if each "group" plays 3 times a month and has 5 people, 10k/3*5 = 16,667 people moved from Roll20 to FG. Now that's a totally rough estimate based upon limited data that has many factors and assumptions. But it does give a reasonable scale to the impact of the incident.
And, as mentioned below, since those are only games that are recorded using the Alias feature, the number is certainly higher.
Wow! 5e added over 19,000 users in a year - that is more than the total users of the next 9 highest games (in Dec. 18). It also increased its share by 3%
I like 5e, but it seems to me the marketing team is doing a pretty darn good job!
Not USERS, those are games played.
FG reports the number of games played using their "Alias" feature. Not total number of games played, or number of licenses or number of players, but rather just those games that run for at least an hour and use the Alias function to allow players to connect to the GM without using a direct IP address.
