A creator series called “The Liberator” just dropped its ninth episode on YouTube, titled “What Have I Done.” This proves that 7 Days to Die still captures attention. As of now, the survival game boasts 22,199 concurrent players on Steam, even after more than ten years since its December 2013 launch. The only detail confirmed about the episode is its title and listing on YouTube.
We don’t have verified info on what happens in the episode, so we won’t speculate. The title hints at a player-driven story, but the source material doesn’t confirm that. However, the player numbers show that the game remains lively enough to support long-running episodic content.
The stats on Steam reinforce this. The game holds an 84% positive rating based on 183,719 reviews—a sizable sample by any measure. Priced at $44.99, it’s a premium tag for a title that’s been around since 2013.
The Fun Pimps develop and publish the game. Some metadata lists a different studio, but community sentiment and the game’s history clearly point to The Fun Pimps. Metacritic hasn’t assigned a score, making Steam reviews the main public benchmark.
Recent sentiment paints a different picture. Our tracking indicates 10 community signals, and overall feedback leans negative. This sharp contrast with the 84% lifetime score hints that recent complaints are influencing the conversation more than the long-term average suggests. Explosion’s recent coverage has echoed this, raising concerns about player counts and Steam feedback.

Community Pulse
Recent feedback on Steam focuses on the studio’s relationship with its players. One negative reviewer expressed: “Was a great game, but the Fun Police, sorry I mean Fun Pimps have become insufferable.” This review criticizes the studio for removing features players like. While our sentiment sample is small, with just 10 signals, this review appeared three times in the data, showing one vocal strand of criticism rather than the entire player base.
What To Watch
- Player count: Keep an eye on whether concurrent players stay around 22,199 or decline as the creator series progresses.
- Steam review trend: Monitor if recent negative feedback impacts the 84% lifetime score.
- Studio response: Look for patch notes or updates from The Fun Pimps addressing complaints about removed features.
