Here are some average player counts since Sept. 1. I picked the 4 most interesting sites (IMO) so as not to clutter up the graph.

Thx Scout..

One of the interesting things this graphs brings to light, is that players started to stop playing at Party, immediately following the passing of the legislation and their statement that they were pulling out. Of course that trend jumped when they actually locked out players after the Preident signed the bill.

While on the other hand, as others have noted, Full Tilt is clearly benefitting from the bill, and started picking up players from the point the legislation passed.

Stars did not start to pick up players until it released its statement and the President signed the bill. By delaying putting out a statement until the last minute, Stars may have as a result ceded the early switchers to FT.
