Its that time of the month again. 
World Of Warcraft of course still ranks as #1 but after that Black Desert is far ahead of everything else. The game is actually more popular now than it has ever been. Great job Kakou.

Think I'd rather watch professional bowling.

Or for those hardcore enough to do all of that already, it lets them see how others do it. Or what it's like to do any of those with a different class without having to grind that class up yourself, etc.
All of that is a lot more interesting than bowling, IMHO.
This is not the first of these threads I have posted so this is nothing new for Black Desert. It is constantly in the same spot every month. You know this already.
Everybody knows Lineage is a more popular game and you know that is not what this thread is about.
Just take a good look at what I posted. Its the same every time.
This is always only to show how Black Desert ranks on Twitch compared to other mmos.
Take it for what ever you think its worth.
I don't like watching folks playing video games i'd rather play them and I don't like hit 2-4 keys to get on skill off it's not intuitive or groundbreaking it's garbage. NO I DON'T WANT TO SIT THERE AND FUCKING AFK FISH.
Im waiting for the youtube vids, why im leaving again in 2017 lol
That's like using Steam to measure FFXIV population, no one would do that because steam-XIV is terrible.
That being said is it fun to watch people mindlessly grind practically inanimate npcs for hours on end?
This thread is baseless advertisement at best, though I'm having a harder time understanding how that many people still watch legion streams.
I'm voting a sub 50k population in NA.
Fake news.
I don't have any definitive proof. I log in and play the game. With DK launch I was server hopping like mad and every level group, every server had multiple groups leveling Dark Knight. The game is alive and well.
These kinds of replies shows just how far some have fallen.
As for the popularity of the game, it's mostly carried by BladeBoques in English. He's a former salesman (and my former guild leader, so I know a little about him) and a very charasmatic guy. Like many things on Twitch, the popularity of his channel is because of his personality. He makes tons of youtube videos instructing people how to make money, organizes pvp tournaments, and plays the game basically 24/7 as well as apparently spending thousands of dollars on it.
Look at the numbers on the streamers and it's a few asian guys and him. That's it. That doesn't indicate to me the game is very popular in the West.
But, shhh... it's a dying game. No one likes it. Because everyone shares the opinion of these few guys that hang around on these boards all day long to complain about the (many) games they don't like.
My SWTOR referral link for those wanting to give the game a try. (Newbies get a welcome package while returning players get a few account upgrades to help with their preferred status.)

Is OK, yesterday coming off an elevator yesterday a young coworker saw me holding a newspaper and could not understand how I could read "old news."
None of my rational explanations could persuade her of its value, apparently only fresh news was of any use. (and she thought my view that little of it really mattered to be terribly cynical, motivational speaker apparently I'm not.)
After we parted ways I thought perhaps I should have shared the fact I really only read it for the comics these days.

But you certainly can't put it in place 2 based on Twitch, it do proves that there is some interest for the game but you need far better statistics to say anything more then that. It could of course be number 2 but it could just as well be number 5 or 7.
Not that it matter that much, there is interest for the game so there will be plenty of people to play with and new content, that is what really is important.
