That 55 million people still playing is the more startling number. 45% of the users still playing the game after all this time really speaks to the quality of the game. Granted, with a game like that it technically has no end so people could play it endlessly, but you still need to have a reason for everyone to keep coming back.Minecraft has sold over 122 million copies with 55 million people still signing in at least once per month.

Mass Effect Andromeda Launch Trailer:
I'm going to try and push to get H:ZD done before this comes out, because I REALLY don't want Horizon to fall into the pit of unfinished open world games of my life. I've already accepted that Zelda: BOTW isn't going to get any play now and isn't going to be approached again until I inevitably pick it up for the Switch. I can NOT find any motivation to get back into Hyrule. Not that the game is bad, but by the time it arrived I was 6+ hours into H:ZD and much more invested in the story.
I might end up doing something like I did with Odinsphere and just "keep" HZD and play it in the mornings while I do other games at night, but its been getting harder and harder for me to get up early nowadays. ;p
Another day, another Capcom port...
Although this one is a bit different.
Back in the day Capcom had the vast majority (if not was the exclusive publisher) of Disney licensed properties. Luckily, Capcom was competent enough to where the games weren't complete crap, which is something we can't say for certain OTHER companies..Capcom is now re-releasing the old NES games they made based on Duck Tales, Rescue Rangers, Darkwing Duck, and Talespin. Added features including a rewind (AKA Get out of screw up free button) as well as boss runs among other perks. Price isn't set, but release date is 4/18.
