User Growth and Demographics Interpretation

Osu! is a global, hyper-dedicated rhythm game empire built and sustained by a shockingly young, male-leaning, and rapidly growing army of players who are far more likely to be clicking circles in Japan or the US on a Saturday night than doing anything else, and who, based on their half-billion collective hours of playtime and willingness to circumvent bans just to join in, clearly treat it not as a pastime but as a permanent digital homeland.
