Neverwinter Boasts 12 Million Players Across All Platforms
Things are looking way up for the free-to-play Dungeons & Dragons themed MMO Neverwinter. Today, publisher Perfect World announced that the game now has over 12 million players scattered across PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One. 7 million of these players play on the long standing PC version, however, with less than two months under its belt the PS4 version already has more than 2 million players of its own. Xbox One supplies another 3 million to that 12 million total.
Neverwinter's popularity ties into that of the currently booming appreciation of Dungeons & Dragons as a whole. Developer Cryptic Studios works in conjunction with Wizards of the Coast to bring the story lines of the game together with that of other D&D content, including those in novels and the tabletop game's narrative.

If you can even trust these numbers... nah probably not.
Technically they're not lying, but the reality is much harsher for them.
How do we now they have 12 mil players? Because they said so? Then I can say how I had 10 000 girlfriends in my life and you would believe me right?
developers/publishers are scammers and all they say is a lie.. I would be surprised if they even have 12 mil registered accounts ever,
or look at that moba game or card game where they brag also about player count but NEVER acctualy show the real numbers. The whole gaming industry is nothing but a scam.
