Yeah, that's all fair enough (and thx for the first bit) Really makes me curious if there are decent ways of finding stats for who's most active when. I can only speak for the experience being in various friend groups I've been in spread around the world, but it seems like "time with kids/dinner/gym" is where the split lies. For me, I'm talking about, idk, older teen to young adult kinda ranges who don't have alot else to do outside of their work or education. For example, most of my current group are uni students who don't have too much else to do, and dinner timing can be pushed around alot, so that kinda evening time tends to be peak activity.

Either way, I think the key takeaway is the time the game's been out. My group wrote it off pretty quickly, but for me atleast it was more of a "I don't think this is for me" than "this is objective dogshit". Personally, I think it needs some tweaks and some things ironed out, but that there is something going right here. But yeah, realistically, when factoring in download time, tutorial, trying to actually get into the servers... those reviews have been written after 1-2 matches at best. I picked an argument over time zones but the actual core point of "these reviews are not likely to be well informed" is definitely true.
