Lol, so much frothing. Nobody said it's people currently in game, the metric is very clear so it's a textbook strawman argument to attack it as if it says something it's not and when the metric you do supposedly prefer is also provided. It's active Steam users so in game at some point, at different times of the day/week rather than implying (or outright saying) it's all bots or random people who forgot they installed it and apparently have no intention to ever use it when the sole purpose of getting Steam is to play games to begin with. Yeah I'm sure you're all frothing in exactly the same way at console sales numbers going "but but I bet 40% of those consoles will only ever boot one game and then gather dust, only game CCU matters, nobody cares about console unit sales, they don't matter" like they're not what enables any following metric as a percentage of them to begin with ​

Its almost scary to think what could have been without Steam and Gabe.

A complete shit show with launchers everywhere? EA having market dominence with a micro transaction filled launcher?

Say thanks and kneel to our lord and savior Gabe.

I don't get why concurrent users is an important metric. Shouldn't concurrent players in game be tracked instead?

And we actually have that data tracked too.

Because Steam isnt just about games, its also a social hub.

Ok, I can understand that. But at this point it should be compared with other social networks, while the concurrent in game number with other gaming platforms.

Steam is the biggest platform as far as number of users goes, it's just about using the right data.

PS: no wait, the biggest gaming platform is Roblox, somehow. God help the next generations.

From the side that does not even have those kind of stats on top of it. Nothing's impressive, but they have nothing
