Steam hits 6 million concurrent users

[QUOTE="BPoole96"]

[QUOTE="clyde46"] 4 Million is a bit redundant as we dont know how many of those players were in games compared to the users either chatting, watching dvd's or just idling on the dashboard.LegatoSkyheart

I believe the same applies to Steam though. Is the 6 million of people who are actually in game, or just people who are logged in and have Steam open?

if you go to the store page and click on the number of people online, it says how many are in each game. Football Manager 2013 has more people on than CoD BO2 :P

[QUOTE="skrat_01"]Why does every godamn PC thread devolve into a discussion about how much lowe0 preffers console gaming? Happening more and more nowadays, over the years.R4gn4r0k

Lowe constantly attacks people for flawed statements. This thread is full of his flawed statements. I think its more than fair that people return the favor:)

[QUOTE="wis3boi"]

[QUOTE="LegatoSkyheart"] It's 6 million people who have steam open I believe. still that's 6 million people who have at least one steam game. and the last time Steam had a mile stone like this was in the summer, during the summer sale event. So these aren't just people who decided to play team fortress 2 today. These are people who probably recieved gifts or started buying PC games at low discounted prices.xhawk27

[QUOTE="xhawk27"]

XBL last weekend had 14 million people concurrent users.

xhawk27

XBL never had close to 6million. Please look up what concurrent means, xbl's record highest was around 3million.

I guess I got that part wrong but 14 million people worldwide was on XBL last weekend so it must have been at least 4 millon concurrent.

Are there any official numbers ?

[QUOTE="lowe0"] An alt? Now that would be hypocrisy on my part. Sounds a little too cowardly for my taste.lowe0

No, you misunderstood. What I'm saying, kill off the "lowe0" completely, make a new account, do some changes to your posting style, then maybe you'd have a shot at taking down your famous SW image you built. Not honorable, but hey, this is the Internet, or more precise, SW!

An alt implies just having another account aside from your main, which is made to troll or rage (ask cows about it, they're the experts on butthurt! :P )

Aw, that's cute! :P

But yeah, you're right, SW would be a less amusing place if "lowe0" was gone. So enjoy your stay, but don't expect to ever be judged on your real merits...

They deserve it. Steam provides an excellent service and offers games in such an accessible manner that their playerbase is because of their merit alone. Living in a country where games are imported and cost around UD 65,00 a pop at launch (and take YEARS to drop in cost at retail stores), being able to get games at USD 50,00 (price for launch) or even only a few dollars during sales is a godsend (USD 99 for around fifteen games that were all released since 2011 - several of them triple A).

[QUOTE="MBirdy88"][QUOTE="lowe0"] The caricature existing isn't the problem; it really doesn't matter what people think of me, because it doesn't change whether an argument (mine or anyone else's) is correct or incorrect. However, that doesn't excuse them to argue against their own interpretation as opposed to what's actually said. I've been quite consistent in what I think, what I say, and what I do, and especially in not insisting that others must make the same choices I do or that mine are the only correct ones.

Oh yeah, consolites butthurt about Steam... it's like clockwork, really, they crawl out of their holes on every Steam sale! ;)

Damn that is amazing. I still think Steam should be a mandatory service. And that they count / add hours to all games you play. I'm sure Steam would have 100 million users or more.

The problem is, often you present your opinion in a very condenscending manner. That leads to other users creating their own interpretations, where they feel like you're speaking from up high, acting like you're above anyone else...

Such approach won't bear any fruit, and will quickly derail any attempt at discussion...

Not a problem. The actual debate starts here: [QUOTE="lowe0"]

Kinda sad to see him go. I agree with him that there is way too much insulting since the new TOU.

BUT everything else he says is really funny and ironic since its coming from shadowmoses.

Well yeah. So there go all his other points out the window. If he wanted good discussion all he had to do was not troll and make up stuff:P

but still no reason for insulting someone or anyone on these forums. So I agree with that point he made
