    The article is talking about concurrent play, which generally peaks near release for all genres, with a few exceptions (like Hollow Knights sleeper numbers). Isaac came out when there was relatively fewer players and it’s a slow growth, so the original probably didn’t have a very high concurrent count.

    The remake is around 70k peak, although it’s oddly high at 20k right now, perhaps because if Mewgenics.
