Age of Empires series still attracts more than a million players each month

The Age of Empires games are still played by more than one million people every month, according to the series' creative director.
Speaking to PCGamesN, Microsoft's Adam Isgreen said that "over a million people a month" play the various games in the long-running strategy series, "and the numbers keep going up."
Isgreen has been a creative director for Xbox Game Studios at Microsoft for nine years, and he has been focused on Age of Empires for the last four.
The remarkable thing about the number of players the series continues to attract is that the last full game, Age of Empires III, was released in 2005. The three games and their various expansions were given a new commercial life on digital platforms like Steam, where they are often available at steep discounts.
