Little chart about growth of OGS

Hello, i had a boring, sleepless night, so to kill some time, i made a little chart about how OGS have growth past ~5 years. It’s only about games that have been started, not the userbase.

I made a tiny mistake picking data from March, June, September and December, while forgetting that it’s only February of the current year, so the last step is only from 2 months, instead of 3.

Site note: game number 4.000.000 was played on Valentine’s day 2016 (2 days ago)

wouldn’t that just be f’?

umm. i think the inflection point is pre-ogs nova and post merge? looks like it was

A little cat-sized piece of OGS history. For reference, we recently passed our 22-millionth game.
