MyGaming recently reported <\/a><\/strong>on the controversial ARK: Scorched Earth expansion – a R219 DLC<\/strong> for a game still in Early Access.<\/p>\n

Nearly a month on and the critical consensus surrounding the game has soured remarkably, with 12,000 \u201cMostly Negative\u201d <\/a><\/strong>recent reviews compared to only 2,000 “Positive Reviews”.<\/p>\n

It seems that consumers voted otherwise with their wallets however, as the game has not only remained fixed to Steam’s top 10 list but has actually increased in player size, reports Githyp.<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

The game’s active playerbase has actually increased by 23% month on month.<\/p>\n

“Looking at ARK<\/em>\u2019s weekend peaks on Saturdays over the past month, the average players per hour has gone from 36,637 players on August 20 to an average players per hour value of 47,681 most recently on September 17.”<\/p>\n
