    You think you can just “query the server” of an online game and get the total number of players?

    Are you serious? Do you think that all game servers have an API with zero authentication that just returns the total number of players currently playing the game?

    And you have the nerve to say I’m “tech illiterate” 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

    The bad news for you: Fortnite still gets over 30 million unique players a day lol

      have an API with zero authentication

      Those ore details you added, not me.

      Well I have bad news for you: there exists literally no evidence of that, because it’s untrue.

        You said that you just “query the server” and get how many people are playing an online game……?

          Yeah, I’m not including a detailed explanation for an idiot who cant read statistics and makes up silly numbers of players with no evidence. You don’t really think you’re worth that kind of time, do you?

            You clearly have no idea how networks and servers work. Someone would have to make an API that responds with the number of active connected users, and leave that open with no authentication, or return it unencrypted for people to snoop on. No one, especially big game developers, are that stupid.

            You don’t know what you’re talking about.
