can't you just code your own player counter? I think that's possible.

How would this even work? Information on the project, except for cloud variables, do not update real time…

you would have to refresh to update, but it would be good to check if you should go on a multiplayer game

would that work like this:

when I receive [player joins v]
change [(cloud) player count v] by (1)

I guess so. There would obviously more code behind the broadcast and variable tho

Why can't you make your own? It seems simple enough. If you can code a multiplayer game, you can make a counter, that's just an assumption though.

It's not that simple as when a player leaves, how do you detect that?
And what if someone has 100 tabs open of the same page?

True but if one can code a MULTIPLAYER game which is NOT easy to code they can certainly code a counter, or maybe I’m overestimating them. Also, what do 100 tabs have to do with any of this?
