awww, someone must have hurt pc fanboys feelings, let me guess, someone said pc gaming is dying again.....

I'm one of them, and I'm not playing a game. I guarentee you the majority of those users aren't doing anything steam related.

Me too, I am taking a break from playing Terraria with some of my friends. :P

Then show us. The truth is 98% of them could be gaming, whereas they could also be doing nothing. Assuming just doesn't do much.

less than a million of which are actually playing a game.....on the other hand almost 750000 are playing MW3 on 360.

Steam is amazing.

If anything this just shows the growth of PC gaming. Last year the record concurrent users was slightly under 4 million.

[QUOTE="Chris_Williams"] i'm log on to steam right now, in fact when my laptop is on i'm on steam but i'm not doing anything on steam, your data is pretty useless Chris_Williams

Why so hostile?

Then explain how this is useless data?

Chris_Williams

So then your in agreement then. PC is growing. I mean you don't actually think it's shrinking because of this data. do you?

now it is 4,999,999, i just got off space rangers 2 reboot.

I highly doubt that. I've been using steam for 5 years and have never run into any major issues. I don't think I've run into any issues with it ever.

Steam logs you in on startup dude .. thread is pointless.rasengan2552

Funniest thing I read all day :lol:

Oh, well you must be everyone then. It'd be completely bizarre if someone actually experienced issues with a service when you didn't.

During the sales, the service can be absolutely atrocious. A week ago was in the Winter Sale.

Steam does not log you on at start up. Fact. Steam's defualt setting is not to start at start up. Do you guys have any idea about what your talking about?

Seriously? I've bought over 70 games from steam and never found this issue at all. Perhaps it was your credit card.

I don't run steam on start up :P where do you get that from ?

Having a bunch of programs run on start up slows your computer down a lot

Anyone who knows anything about PCs or has a really fast PC with SSD or something (and even than what is the point) doesn't run it on startup

I had errors with transactions too. Steam does have problems.shadowchronicle

I've never had a transaction error ever. Just sayin

Wow ... you're very ignorant. Do me a favor and don't reply to me again. good day sir.rasengan2552

And you are not ?

You think that because you run steam on startup everyone does it:lol:

My reading comprehension is off today I guess. My dog is really sick and my mind is Elseweyr.

vtoshkatur

Odd. I've never changed the default setting and mine is set to boot upon startup. How is it a fact, if mine does the opposite of what you are saying?

Of course it does. Just not any major ones. Anyway this is sorta off topic. not really but still this is about user base not functionality.

I just had to reinstall steam a few weeks ago because I installed a new OS and HDD and it's defualt is not to start up at start up.

That is so superbly fantasticsly wonderfully great...now announce Half-Life 3 Valve.

Someone tell me why I should care about this.

I'd say Team Fortress 2 going f2p really boosted it. Not to mention the Dota 2

This simply isn't true. As stated before I just did a fresh install of steam on a new HDD and OS and it doesnt start up on defualt.
