Once Human Reaches 10 Million Downloads, Re-Emphasizes No Pay-To-Win Philosophy | MMORPG.com
Once Human announced on its Twitter that it's reached 10 million downloads globally, with a thank-you box for all players.

They did introduce Lootboxes (cosmetic) which I still think is predatory but seems to be allowed in the current climate of things.
If they keep everything cosmetic, I don't really see a problem.
Restarting again on a new scenario and server didn't sound that bad given what you were allowed to carry over between seasons. Now however that have said that there is a couple month lag between the current PVE season end and the start of a new one.
The only thing on offer for PVE players is to continue for an additional month on the current server before it is shut down, play on eternaland or go to the new PvP season. Personally I am going to go play something else as my build is for PVE and I am uninterested in PvP.
Eternaland seems to be for those that like to build and decorate. Sadly not one of my interest nor am I good at it.
yea i agree , they take sht from every game , they took "pals" from palworld but whatever , if it works for them so be it , i find that again for pvp if you dont follow the meta you are screwed so i am good on that game , not worth the time when you HAVE to follow a certain build for the whole war hive at end game or YOU WILL LOSE
It's already doing much better than First Descendant in ccu peak. Once Human is still retaining 140k+ players after 6 weeks. While First Descendant was released a week earlier, it has fallen to 60k+ players ccu nowadays.
The chart is not falling sharply unlike most other MP games, which means that either people are staying or there are enough new players joining regularly.
Single server only for each region and they seem to have fairly low server player caps in my experience. Going to be interesting to see the demand. Not sure what my hive mates will decide to do.
10+ million downloads and 140k retained? that doesnt sound like a very good percentage.
The First Descendant is in something of an already crowded space, so I imagine many that tried it were already playing something else within the genre, then decided to go back to the game they already had a fair bit of investment in. Plus it is being run by Nexon, which many see as a big negative.
Once Human although is in a less crowded space near as I can tell, and I saw more people hyping it up, than The First Descendant, so likely feels fresher to people, and the honeymoon phase will likely take a while to get over. Waiting some months, or seasons to see how well it fairs in the long term would be needed, although we can reasonably expect that as is the norm, some months from now there will be stories of it having lost some 90% of it's at launch concurrent player counts.

I fall along the same ideology. I will buy a $100 cosmetic to support a game I play that is giving me decent amount of playtime. Don't expect me to do loot boxes at all though. I will not spend a single dime on these loot boxes. It's a little different when it is a playable character in a gacha but not cosmetics.
Playing at the same time is not the same as active players.

My biggest beef is (unlike Fallout 76) I *think* player's bases stay up when the player is offline. The starter area was very crowded with little bases everywhere.
