I agree the trend is negative (as I have posited since day 1). I'm a big believer that viewer count and player count are highly correlated. So as player count continues to decline, we would expect viewer count to follow.It does. However, the trend is rather concerning. Without saying whether AoE2 or AoE4 is better, the numbers are rather clear at the moment. Here is a snapshot per end of December. I will update this in a few days to include the January numbers. If you are interested in more like this, you are welcome to check my attempt at a summary for AoE2 vs AoE4 after the firsts two months since AoE4's release. https://dondinardoni.com/aoe2-and-aoe4-friend-or-foe/
