That number doesn't mean anything. We have no idea what concurrent means.
No seriously I've seen this argument before.

Hats in OW would be amazing especially if they stacked with skins
Now Reaper can wear two sombreros at the same time
I find it pretty unlikely that Blizzard will support Overwatch for 9 years but you never know. TF2's major updates do feature a lot of community created content like cosmetics and maps and I doubt Blizzard will start adding community created stuff to Overwatch.

Euro Truck Sim representing.
It's pretty impressive how Civ V still routinely hits 50k+ concurrent while Civ VI sits at 70k+. People really love their Civ.
(And I can totally understand that!)
Hyper competitive and takes years to simply be labeled decent. I can see why they have a long term following.
Hahahah good joke.
The only ever time it gets hate is when Microsoft fans try to shit up any Steam thread

It's impressive to see how far they've come since 2012. That's not long ago.

All I do is run You Need a Budget 24/7 LOL.
Both games are amazing and rewarding.
Depends on what you consider "support" but Overwatch has had tremendous support of their old titles, with many still getting patches after over 10 after their release. Seems they are also planning to add a server browser to it which will make a lot of good to its longevity.

Overwatch will probably get the occasionally patch and update but a few years from now I doubt it will level of support TF2 still has unless it becomes a major Esport with a huge player base.
Blizzard does support their titles a lot longer then most PC developers but not usually in the same evergreen way Valve does with new free content for years and years (excluding WoW of course). That may change with Heroes of the Storm and Overwatch through if they remain popular, we'll just have to wait and see.
I had forgotten just how silly that thread was. Whew.

That was a troll post. He's a Dota regular. The one post about grannys in an earlier thread, I'm not so sure lol
He's not wrong. Funny as it sounds looking at its great numbers,it has seen better days. Higher averages, higher peaks, higher MAU. Its growth was on a linear trajectory. Valve's support these last years has been subpar though. Outside of Dota (and even that could be better) Blizzard is completely one-upping them with twice as many games.
People always point out the number of updates, but they barely talk about quality.

CoD on pc was never very big, if we make a proportional comparison with consoles.

Stats made me look up (the lack of) Dirty Bomb, what a weird state it's in. Still in "pre-release" beta (with in-game purchases) that has been going for more than a year, counting closed beta it has been going for 3 years. They're still doing regular updates, it has had a competitive scene that blossomed and died, still the same 4 maps on regular rotation (not counting Dome), still a ton of fun.
It has been dropping in player count but I guess it's somehow still profitable even though there's no real need to spend money in it. I wonder how they could ever release a "final" build at this point.
Strange days, all thanks to Steam.

Concurrent means online at the same time. Active just means using Steam in general over a general period of time (not sure what metric they use for that).
Concurrent users is the amount of users logged in at one time. Active users are the total number of active Steam accounts.

Thinks buying more servers can fix a bad patch
I believe concurrent users means how many Steam users log in at the same time, while active users is just the amount of people that is actively using Steam
