There's data on the top ~2000 or so here, but I thought this was a reasonable cutoff: http://steamspy.com/sale/

Dat revenue tho
Microsoft has a new internal strategy studio, presumably to chase that opportunity given what this remaster of an ancient game has been selling.
With almost 10m units sold, I'm sure they are going to announce it at any moment.
Well see, Half-Life 2: Deathmatch moved 13.6 million units while Half-Life 2 only moved 9.5 million, so presumably they're going to make a sequel to that instead.

Payday 2 that high? Blegh, a game ruined by updates and paid dlc.

These are always fun. I remember years ago when the Dota 2 beta was the biggest seller, when so many people I knew had so many they couldn't give away all of them.

Speedrunners is big time now, wow.
Knife sales need a large playerbase.
It moved 53K. I imagine a lot of that target audience is picking up Fallout or The Witcher at this point.
Bought Age of Empires 2 HD collection, along with AoE 3 collection, a couple days ago.
I've now got ~20 games in my Steam backlog, though haven't bought much in nearly 3 years. Time to start playing/finishing them.
Hopefully MS will get around to making Ao4 someday, or another spin-off like AoM.

I mean even before that, the game wasn't anywhere near good. I'm honestly shocked so many people like holding F that much.

It's been a long time since I was into the mods scene, but I believe HL2DM is the cheapest way to start playing HL2 mods, which probably explains the popularity

True, but the data above shows it outsold base HL2 in the most recent sale
(124k vs 115k)
Love watching a good game getting the recognition it deserves.

Surprised Stardew Valley wasn't higher.
Left 4 Dead 2 STILL moving units. That's fuckin crazy. Where's that sequel at, Blizzard?

Going hard on the rounding.

Spore is actually pretty fun, and at 5 dollars you could do much worse.

Momodora Reverie Under the Moonlight needs more love.
Also, I'm glad Bad Rats isn't up there.

While Spore massively under delivered, it's still one of a kind game, and the last game by Will Wright, it's not wonder it's selling so much for just 5 bucks.
I have to imagine most people who were interested in playing Skyrim bought it all years ago, discounts be damned. I imagine most of the noise on GAF re: Skyrim were from people who had no interest in playing the DLC suddenly wanting it cause they would get Skyrim SE for free on PC later this year.
lol. Weak sale confirmed. Not too impressed with these numbers.
L4D2 at #8 in sales with a 2% increase. This game is almost 7 years old. PC base is still emerging and steam is becoming more mainstream. The fact the this game was one of the top sellers just goes to show that the people who are buying games on these sales are people who are new PC gamers and not people who have been around for many years.
