For sake of looking it up the most reliable information comes from Steam user counts.
issues with this are:
1) It only goes back to 2013
2) Players owned this external of Steam either from original box or sources like GoG or others
3) This only shows peak users online at the same time, not actual player base
Currently Baldur's Gate 2 has:
473 playing
907 in the last 24-hour peak
2,644 all-time peak
This shows a moderate player base of 300-700 over the years since 2013 up to today.
With your response about mod support, that just makes me ask a question. What in the game is modified? PHB rules?
