Dota 2: The game has bypassed by popularity, some notable projects

Analysts from one of the agencies posted on the Internet the results of their studies on the most "playable» PC-Games, both in Europe and in North America as well. I must say that in these studies evaluated the popularity of games is not a sales or the number of registered players. They were assessed at the time users spend in a particular match. To conduct this analysis, the researchers used information from a variety of sources, including one of the popular services that use 23 million people.

And what happened? As the results of the analysis, conclusions are very unexpected. It turns out, Dota 2 in the first quarter of this year already, the game that to this day remains in beta testing, and is that played by the project surpassed by popularity not only competing League of Legends, and a World of Warcraft. Moreover, the researchers clarify, the success of the winner in any way not indicated on the popularity of League of Legends - The number of players in the game has not decreased in comparison with previous periods. In short, the time spent by players in the top twenty most popular PC-games, an increase of 22 percent compared to the first quarter last year and by 8 percent compared to the fourth quarter of that of last year.

Well, it is useful to point out the fact that Dota 2 shows in recent months, the growth of super user base. Thus, in December 2012 to record simultaneous online play was recorded as a mark of 180 thousand people, and is the first of March this year, it increased by more than half, 297,000 short of players.
