Enhanced Steam - player data question

Open
XYUSoma

Hello,

I don't understand the player data section on Steam store when using Enhanced Steam, for example:

Owners: 25,522 - 34,520
Players total: 5,481 - 10,059 (25.88%)
Players in the last two weeks: -203 - 1,261 (1.76%)

Can someone please explain what the 2 numbers on each lines mean, and the percentages as well?

Those 2 numbers represent the range where the true number most likely is in between. Those are calculations and projections, based on data samples. It is expected that you mention the margin of error for such calculations, so that you get an idea how informative and reliable those estimations are.

So there are between 25,522 and 34,520 owners.
Between 5,481 and 10,059 played that game (which represent 25.88% of the owners).
And within the last 2 weeks up to 1,261 owners played the game (which represent 1.76% of them)

Ok, so they don't really know how many people have the game. It makes sense, thank you for your reply.

You are welcome. If you are interested in more, Sergey shared some information about SteamSpy either in his FAQ, Blog or all over Twitter and some articles on Gamasutra and other places.
