So guys do you think osu! would be better if it was more recognized with more players/championships, sometimes I think... if someday osu will be very popular like the popular mobas or like guitar hero were at ps2 time maybe im going crazy but in my opinion osu could have more players and become more competitive and popular as well, I asked it once at the brazilian facebook comunity and they were against this idea because osu would get more trolls/hackers if this happen

Sorry if my grammar is too bad... thanks for the attention and please give your opinion :)

You do realise that at time of writing osu has a total of 4,193,048 registered users right. That's nearly the size of the population of New Zealand. If that's not considered popular then I'll prance around on one foot on lego bricks singing "she'll be coming round the mountain".

I don't think osu!will ever be as popular as mobas or whatever. The concept is pretty niche, and probably won't attract as many people. Most importantly it would probably be bad if osu!, as we know it, ever became "mainstream". You do realize that 95% of beatmaps on the game are copyrighted, right?

If osu! became mainstream, peppy get a lot of letters saying taking this and that song down...

SO DON'T EVER ADVERTISE! Just sit around and play and be silent

It wouldn't necessarily be a smart thing for copyright holders to demand songs to be taken down, if osu! became popular enough.

If they did, then who cares? There is a wealth of music out there whose authors would leave us alone. Stop worrying about copyright issues in osu!.

osu! is already popular as hell. I find it so weird that people from my school actually know about it.

Also blame those dumb "progamers" like dyrus who play this game during queue times. lol im gonna get flamed hard for saying that

I even hear people say the only reason osu exists is to get better at LoL. thats how bad it's gotten.

All i want too see is this game becoming even better .. I know few people that play osu and those that have played before stopped because they said they were too bad at it, maybe a team scheme in the future ?

2 years ago getting 10k people online was a rarity, now it happens daily and i've seen it go as high as 14k+
so yes, the amount of online people is still growing

the thing is that it's not even always the same 8k-14k users that are online all the time.

my blind guess would be that the regular playerbase (1 log in at least every week) exceeds 50-100k quite easily, and the semi-regular playerbase (1 log in per month) is probably at least 3 times bigger than that.

it is no lol or dota, but it is probably close to commercially successful titles like sc2 and exceeds a lot of free to play games by a lot.

Why? Because hipster logic says so?

Has anyone seen osu! being mentioned in other places? What kind of places? I'm kind of curious about it.

I've seen osu be talked about on that Yu-Gi-Oh 5D's Duel Accelerator game which was running for a while
