Bit of an irrelevant metric if you’d ask me. Best-selling game of all time run by owner of both Windows and Xbox has bigger numbers than indie title, color me surprised. Considering Minecraft only has 5x as many sales as Terraria, I’d say Terraria is doing pretty well. Average player counts will obviously be comparatively lower because it’s a completely different genre.
And to be clear I’m not arguing that Minecraft is unpopular or that it doesn’t allow for near unlimited creativity. It’s one of my favorite games. I was just naming a couple of other incredibly popular games like you asked.
Minecraft has 210 million monthly players. About 400X Terraria, 30X WoW. It’s not even close.
