Thats the figure announced by Syfy and Trion Worlds in a joint press release (that Ive included below) on how many gameplay hours had been invested into Defiance, the game half of the multimedia hybrid thats also a show on the aforementioned network, but when you break it down, it doesnt really seem like much.
Polygon: "That solid core is a rock worth polishing. Even with its blemishes, there's a lot of enjoyment to be had in the creaking world of Defiance 1.0. Its creators have banked on the "fun shall overcome" school of game design which, with exceptions, Defiance achieves. I only wish it didn't have to overcome quite so much."
Defiance, the first ever MMO multi-platform game released, but Defiance is more than that, according to Trion Worlds its a MMO combined with a TV series that is going live on April 16th.
Trion promised us that the Defiance TV series is a revolutionary weekly episode show that impacts the game, and gives you the chance to change the show. But is this going to happen in long term? Can Trion Worlds keep the promise? We dont know, only time will tell. But right now Pure|News is going to tell you how Defiance plays right now.

The latest patch for massively multiplayer online game Defiance has been giving players on Xbox 360 and PC trouble, resulting in developer Trion Worlds taking down both versions' servers for maintenance, according to tweets from the official Defiance account.
The patch, which was set to fix a number of issues that plagued the title at launch, has resulted in many players on Xbox 360 being unable to load the game. According to a thread on the official Defiance forums, players are receiving a "Game Error" when they try to start, along with the suggestion to redownload the game.
Earlier this morning Trion Worlds announced it would take down Xbox 360 servers to fix problems with the patch.
