Player estimates
Nobody publishes how many people play Virtual Villagers 3 for iPad, so these figures are modelled from the public counts on App Store, Twitch. Each count stands in a roughly known ratio to a population — one Play rating per ~45 players, one Steam review per ~35 owners — and the estimates below combine those readings, weighted by how much each source can be trusted to speak for the whole game. Read the range as the answer and the headline as its middle.

How are the Virtual Villagers 3 for iPad player estimates worked out?
Nobody publishes player counts for mobile games, so we infer them.

Those separate estimates are then averaged in proportion to how much each source can be trusted, which is why sources that disagree widen the published range instead of cancelling out.
