in the last few weeks Metal Gear Rising: Revenge has seen growth number of player 1000% on Steam. Reason? Some breast about the game. Since its launch a decade ago, the PlatinumGames title hasn’t been doing similar tricks.
Let’s try to explain: some meme templates featuring mainly Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance characters went viral and after the social phenomenon many decided to refresh the game.
As explained by PlayTracker Insight, the average player count at the end of 2021 was between 300 and 800, but by January 2022 Jetstream was regularly starting to exceed 2000 thanks to Sam Thinking and others. Many players have noted an increase in activity to unlock achievements.
The hope is always that good games will be spared from curiosity or the spirit of discovery, but memes are also good, suitable for much more contemporary and modern minds, often lacking in oxygen.
