Boasting About?

[spinastar]

Today I decided to learn more about the Lost Bytes, but look what I found out to my surprise:

This is what is written on their site about VW (http://www.lost-bytes.com/sk/apps.php?):

"Vytvorili sme multiplayerovú ťahovú strategickú hru, ktorá má už svoje druhé pokračovanie a denne si ju zahrá cez 2500 hráčov z celého sveta."

That is, translated:

"VortexWars is our own multiplayer turn-based strategic game which have a second sequel and is played by over 2500 players from over the world each day."

So,

1) I have never seen 2500 player around, and nowadays there are actualy no more than 30 at the same time and actually no more than 50 A DAY!!! (I think I am missing 2450 players)
2) I have never heard Lopdo speak of a we when programming, so he actually gets help, doesn't he?
3) If it is your OWN multiplayer game, why are you letting it to die out in such a way???
4) Do u mean by second sequal VW2 to VW and VW BETA? I don't think that might just be what you call a sequel.

Does this mean they are just Boasting around?

I would say it's more like 100 a day, and Lopdo has like one guy working with him in the company.

They actually have a really snazzy website.

Before everything- you could just link to the english version of the website.

1) I would expect this counts every login- if you assume an average player plays for 30 minutes or so, this doesn't require more than 50 or so people on at a time. When you take into account people who may not actually be in a game or the lobby, it can be a somewhat reasonable (although still a bit high) number. Presumably Lopdo may actually have real statistics this is based off of.
2) Not for Vortex Wars, for the most part; however, as it is the company website, and there are multiple people in the company, it is proper to say "we" as it is the whole company addressing the reader, not just Lopdo.
3) Other work to do
4) I'd expect, although cannot be sure, that "second sequel" is simply imperfect translation, and that it actually is correct in Slovak.

2500 is not that much a day.

Taking guests into account, I'd say 2500 is pretty accurate.

- it's not current info, at the time of writing we really had 2500 users a day (not at the same time), now it is less than that
- I made it myself but on company's behalf, that why the "we"
- as Rat pointed out, too much other work
- sequel stuff is just wrong translation

Update is better word? Wild guess.

I think that gives me about a 3.5/4.
