I've been saving Steamspy data per month (e.g. Dec 1st till Jan 1st for the month of December) to look at how specific titles sell on a monthly basis and to examine 'legs'.

Title: 1st-month 2nd-month etc. Here's an example for some. Data is up to March 1st.

Code:
[B]R6 Siege[/B]: 260,957   111,060    69,960
[B]Hurtworld[/B]: 198,713  54,554   66,363
[B]Squad[/B]: 90,892   50,757   20,648
[B]LIGHTNING RETURNS™: FINAL FANTASY® XIII[/B]:  63,676   13,250   2,777
[B]GUILTY GEAR Xrd -SIGN-[/B]: 52,347   6,479   3,835
I am eagerly awaiting the day the Korean rating board leaks GG Revelator for PC. 60k units sold without a major discount should be a really solid number of sales for an anime fighting game on PC.

If you're going for a less expensive one, I can recommend Sharkoon Fireglider. I'm very satisfied with it.

I'm loving my Logitech G502 Proteus mouse. I would say go with that.

I'm a big fan of the Mionix Naos 7000. A nice big mouse that you can use palmed if that's the way you grip your mouse.

Loving my Logitech G600

Have problem with dps suddenly down to 200 and made it impossible to use but successfully fix it with software update


Looked these up and ended up ordering a G502. Seemed like the perfect replacement for the G500 I'm using.
Thanks for the suggestions, having some specific mouse to look up instead of trying to nab down some specific ones really helped.

That's the mouse I use. Good choice!

Protip: the wobbily mousewheel can be toggled on or off by the button directly below, to allow for smoother, faster scrolling; it is not a defect. I learned this the wrong way.

Steam peaked at nearly 13 million concurrent today. 12.8 to be exact.

I was expecting 13 million during Summer seal but looks like it will reach that long before.

Steam is becoming really big :O

Are you joking? I see an obvious solution, but am not going to tell it. Figuring stuff out is all this game is about, spoiling it would be tantamount to robbing you of the money you payed for it.
Edit:
Well, not too obvious, but when you look back at this stuff it always seems so.

it's not a joke -___-

i've been stuck here for like half an hour
Just think about different partitions. Usually you only get stuck when you don't think "flexibly" enough, try to turn the tables, approach a problem from a new perspective.

So many pranking uncles.

It would actually be pretty cool to see where this growth keeps coming from.

Is it new millennials? Is it console gamers bored with the new gen? Is it MOBA fans looking for Dota fix? Is it anime fans who are buying up all these weird anime games?

Too bad its probably impossible for Valve to find out unless they do some in depth survey for new users.

What happened with Hurtworld between Feb and Mar? o_O
 
Finally got a chance to play Crawl as a few friends came over.

That game is so, so great. It's a bit light on bosses at the moment (Early Access), but the game flows great, each game lasts the right amount of time, and it's really easy to pick up the mechanics. Lots of great "shouting at your friends" moments.
 
Danganronpa is selling poorly? That sucks, it was really good.

It think it's doing fine. It has over 27,000 owners in the first month. Before, both Danganronpa games for the Vita sold 200,000 combined in the west. I'm sure it'll get their by the end of the year.

I know TitS:FC has an abysmal 'finish the game' rate but I'm wondering about PoE.
I recall it being said that most people never finished the BG games.

The Steam equivalent of the drunk friend who keeps offering to pay your tab all night.

Losing a big chunk of souls is a rite of passage anyway

The Division preload is complete.

The hype got me. I'm ready. Too bad I don't have any uPlay friends....

They are adding functionality to alleviate the issue. Of course, the most comprehensive fix would be to simply remove Uplay entirely.

“Since the game is social at its core, we worked closely with the Uplay team to ensure that players will be able to play with their friends and also find new ones easily," Ubisoft said in a PC-centric blog post about The Division.

"Uplay now lets you invite your Steam friends into your Uplay Friends list and find people you recently played with. Your Uplay Friends list will also allow you to see when your friends are online and send them an invite or join their session seamlessly.”

Most people don't finish games period. Longer RPGs just have worse finish rates.

I know it feels like a lot now, but in a few hours that amount will be chump change.

It only gets better.

I'm part of the majority, I won't stop though, and I'll be back in with BG once Siege of Dragonspear gets released.
