lol, 25 years wasted dismantling shaders in season 3 (Destiny)

Given the same info graphic, some 4,980,397 Guardians pledged to factions in Season 3. That's very roughly 1,660,132 players in Destiny 2 for season 3... figuring 3 characters per player. The actual numbers will be higher as some people will not have three characters and some people will not have pledged each faction rally and some people (like me) didn't earn any faction engrams for one or two characters.

Yeah, that’s a good point which really supports my argument. 1.7 million unique users across all three platforms.
It’s important to remember that unique users, average players, and daily peak are all very, very different things, which means there’s even fewer players than I had initially thought, which throws that conservative 13 minutes per player out the window for Season 3.

I will say, though, that using Faction rally is a bit of a wonky metric, since I have had six guardians every single time, but I only hit rank 50 once on each console, and both times were with a single character (The second Faction rally, I think I only played Destiny enough to grab the final 12 packages that I needed on Xbox, despite pledging all six characters). And as half of DBO can attest at this point, many of us are running multiplat, which causes folks to count as two or three players, but I have no idea if that really is such a common thing.
