About
Video game numbers, from an Italian site. Statcade collects, organises and explains public data on the video game market: concurrent players, releases, companies, free games, price drops as data, and context. We do not invent figures or estimate what is not in the sources.
Mission
Statcade is an Italian site: articles and most pages are written in Italian, and this English version covers the main data sections. The mission is to make existing numbers readable: Steam, investor documents, Wikipedia and other sources cited on the page. Every important figure names its source and, when needed, the time of the reading. The site is a personal project, as described in Privacy and rules.
Method
- Steam sampler: hourly readings and one daily reading at 05:00 UTC (window 04:45–07:59 UTC) used for history, records and day-to-day comparisons. Details are in Sources and methodology.
- Public sources: Steam Web API and Store API, Wikipedia for units sold, official company filings, and the other sources listed in Sources and methodology. If a figure is missing, the page shows “n/a”: we do not estimate it.
- Limits: the catalogue is not the whole world market; player counts are a Steam snapshot; sales are not summed across platforms when the source does not allow it; updates outside the 05:00 UTC window do not enter the daily history.
What Statcade is not
- It is not a store and does not sell games.
- It does not push you to buy or reserve: external links, when present, are informational.
- It does not replace official filings or Steam charts: it reports and contextualises them, with the source alongside.
