I came to it late, the "banned" tag made the first pages much less aggravating to read.

Clearly the new spike consists of new console owners mistakenly registering Steam accounts instead of XBL or PSN.

 

[Nzyme32]

As expected 8,341,449 now. Can it hit 8.4 million?

 

[inm8num2]

Will be exciting to see how new features like broadcasting work. That could be a big boost for activity.

 

[Nere]

Impressive, happy to see skyrim so high on that list love that game and can understand why so many people still play it so long after release.

 

[Desaan]

Skyrim still doing work I see. Praise Talos for the mod makers.

 

[impact]

8 million people disappointed at these shit sales Gabe

exactly. Mostly because of the fact that you can make it into almost any game you want

Ya it's amazing always seeing at top seller every sale this far along.

So? It's not like it matters once everyone is max tier

Is there a reason so many play CS:GO?

I remember reading it wasn't as good as 1.6 but better than source, did everyone finally move on to it?

Or did it get hats...

It's a good game, it rejuvenated the entire pro-scene.

And it got the equivalent to hats, guns skins.

I remember hating CS:GO compared to TF2, like the aiming felt like it had lag or something coming from a scout or something in tf2 to cs:go.

maybe they fixed it or I had some setting wonky I dunno.

Well if you have it already, just try it out

It's dem sales!

Aiming being immediate and direct is something CS requires, so it may have been a problem on your end - did you have vsync enabled?

That's a surprisingly small increase over this year's summer sale. Has Steam's growth stagnated?

I mentioned this earlier but Steam no longer defaults to autorun with Windows during a new installation. No idea how much that affects things though.

I have yet to get into it.
But I'm scared since I know it will be a time sink. Those stats clearly show it lives on for a long time.

On top of that, I will definitely play it with mods.
I have already accumulated over the years a bookmarks folder filled with articles regarding Skyrim mods that could be useful in the future.

More people playing CSGO than BF4 on all platforms combined. Amazing.

Yep, amazing how CS has exploded again.

If the outage did increase numbers, looks like they're staying.

 

[teokrazia]

Lethal_NFSCounter-Strike continuing to get a raise in numbers is crazy to me. Keep chugging along to bring FPS back to the glory of #eSports so we can knock MOBAs out, plz.

Hopefully arenas coming this year will give a hand.

The turn around is crazy

 

[ashecitism]

new record at 8,500,072

CS:GO at 383,584

 

[Deadstar]

Its insane how CS GO has turned around from a poor launch to massive success it is now and Dota 2 nearly at 1 million!

Do you know the reason? I played CS back when it came out and with 1.6 and all of that. I played go and it seemed ok but maybe I just already got too many hours out of the concept. Did they add anything interesting?

Despite disliking the game, I'm amazed at cs:go's popularity. Really exploded over the last year. Hard to think that this game was once basically dead(less than 20K concurrent peak) a couple months after it released, which wasn't surprising since the game wasn't really that good back then.

Wow, seems like they made huge updates. It makes me want to jump back in! Hostage maps were always wonky, glad to see they tweaked them.
