Method and editorial rule

Editorial rule version 1

Each dispatch is a measured fact, never an opinion: a number of players online on Steam, compared with a fixed threshold written below.

Single source: Steam Web API (GetNumberOfCurrentPlayers), Statcade daily reading at around 05:00 UTC. It is the same reading used for the history, records and daily rankings; the exact time of each reading is in the dispatch.

Dispatch thresholds, from the most important type
TypeWhen it becomes a dispatch
New highThe day's reading beats the highest of all earlier readings by at least 5%, with at least 14 earlier readings (same threshold as the Records page).
MilestoneThe game passes one of these thresholds for the first time in the history: 100,000, 500,000, 1,000,000 players online.
First readingFirst Statcade reading of a game released at most 7 days earlier, with at least 20,000 players.
Top 10The game enters the top 10 Steam games read and was outside it the day before; at least 90% of the games must have been read the day before.
RiseAt least +20% on the day before and at least +20% against the catalog median too, with at least 20,000 players in one of the two readings.
DropAt least −20% on the day before and at least −20% against the catalog median too, with at least 20,000 players in one of the two readings.

Daily cap: at most 10 dispatches per reading day. If more facts pass the thresholds, the more important types go first (in the order of the table) and, within a type, the games with more players.

Duplicates: at most one dispatch for each game on each day (the most important type). Pause for the same game and type: new highs: 7 days; top 10: 7 days; rises: 3 days; drops: 3 days. Milestones and first readings count once only.

Suspect readings: a drop does not become a dispatch if it falls below −80% in 24 hours, if the next day it rebounds by more than 300% or if the next day it is back to at least 85% of the value before the drop. Changes this large and this short are consistent with an incomplete response from the Steam API and cannot be told apart from a real drop with one reading a day. The drop goes to the suspect readings log with the measured values, together with the next day's rebound; a rise above +900% in 24 hours goes there too. On those days the game does not count for the top 10, the median and highs. If on one day more than half of the games read drop by at least 20%, the day produces no dispatches and goes to the log as a suspect day.

Provisional drops: a drop stays provisional until the next day's reading exists; a label on the dispatch says so and in the meantime the dispatch is not in the feed. If the next day's reading is missing, the drop stays provisional. If the next day the drop turns out to be suspect, the dispatch leaves the list and stays in the suspect readings log, at the same address: its number stays reserved, it is never reassigned and the other dispatches are not renumbered.

Rises and drops are compared with the catalog median so that the weekend effect, when almost every game goes up or down together, is not reported.

Dispatch number: SC-YYYY-MMDD-NNN, where the date is the UTC day of the reading and NNN the running number of that day. The archive is append-only: an issued dispatch never changes its number or its text.

Corrections: if a figure turns out to be wrong the dispatch keeps its number. A correction stays on the dispatch, with its date; a withdrawn dispatch leaves the list and the feed, like automatic withdrawals, and stays in the log above at the same address. Every correction is also in the log and in the feed.

The catalog tracked by Statcade is not all of Steam: the top 10 and the median refer to the games read that day, stated in the dispatch.

The latest 50 dispatches and the corrections, in RSS 2.0.

The feed carries final dispatches: provisional drops arrive once the next day's reading exists, dated with the time of that reading. At the first switch-on the feed starts with the dispatches of the last 7 days, dated with the time of the measurement; the backlog is all on this page.
