Not just out of date, complete and utter fabrication.
TIL people eat shit from the “visual capitalist” and swallow it whole. I’d bet my right nut this image took 15min of AI “prompt engineering” and 30 of photoshop copy-paste. None of if is remotely reliable.
Its source is a wiki, noted in the bottom right corner. I’ve seen plenty of these numbers reported publicly before. By its very nature, it’s going to lag behind real time.
There were three edits in the past few days. Feel free to look at the diff, but I’m not making a Fandom account to do so. It would stand to reason that it was this list, and those three edits probably account for Palworld’s number being lower in the graphic and why the wiki has two more games on it, if they pulled the data more than a few days ago.
If only there was a pervasive tool nowadays that is famously inaccurate, likes to hallucinate and frequently cites deprecated data… Something artificial that slop content mill producing shitrags like the visual capitalist like to use… I can’t quite put my finger on it…
edit: Fyi, that’s why any writer worth its salt puts dates on their citations and usually citations include urls. Just another piece of the puzzle that when put together screams “visual capitalist is a shitrag low effort content mill and people should not propagate their message”.
Where are you getting the term “visual capitalist”? And why did you learn about this phenomenon today? Misinformation has been rampant for over a decade now.

Funny you should say that, because I checked the source and they haven’t compiled the 2025 list. You know what would definitely halucinate one…

I see different figures for the list. The one in the infographic does not exist.
