Title: Steam Stats Thread. Post by: schild on August 31, 2008, 04:29:00 AM Real time stats (well mostly real time) are pretty awesome.
http://steamgames.com/v/index.php?area=stats They now have a listing of everyone playing X game. I'd be surprised if publishers wanted this information known. Current Players Peak Today Game 57,400 76,004 Counter-Strike: Source 48,265 65,053 Counter-Strike 13,330 22,392 Team Fortress 2 8,660 11,263 Condition Zero 4,637 6,678 Day of Defeat: Source 3,193 5,728 Garry's Mod 1,887 2,695 Half-Life 2 1,866 2,773 Half-Life 2: Deathmatch 1,416 2,277 Day of Defeat 1,001 1,334 TrackMania Nations Forever 797 1,365 Portal 738 1,065 Half-Life 2: Episode Two Everything else at the link. Also, probably good to have a catchall thread for stat discussion on steam. Title: Re: Steam Stats Thread. Post by: Megrim on August 31, 2008, 05:14:12 AM 1.6 still doing well, lol.
Title: Re: Steam Stats Thread. Post by: Samwise on August 31, 2008, 09:36:17 AM How many concurrent players does WoW have during peak hours?
Title: Re: Steam Stats Thread. Post by: K9 on August 31, 2008, 10:16:48 AM Over 9000
Title: Re: Steam Stats Thread. Post by: Trippy on August 31, 2008, 12:44:55 PM How many concurrent players does WoW have during peak hours? In China alone it's over a million (April 2008 numbers from The9) so worldwide it's probably somewhere around 2 million.Title: Re: Steam Stats Thread. Post by: eldaec on September 01, 2008, 11:47:12 AM I'd be surprised if publishers wanted this information known. In professionally run industries it is not normal for companies to object to this sort of data being published. But you are probably right. Title: Re: Steam Stats Thread.

Title: Re: Steam Stats Thread. Post by: Samwise on September 02, 2008, 09:02:42 AM I'm pretty impressed that Portal is still on that list, for having only a few hours of gameplay in it.
Title: Re: Steam Stats Thread. Post by: NiX on September 02, 2008, 05:59:44 PM I'm pretty impressed that Portal is still on that list, for having only a few hours of gameplay in it. People are making some pretty creative puzzles with the SDK. There are some packs that have added countless hours of frustration to it.Title: Re: Steam Stats Thread.

Title: Re: Steam Stats Thread. Post by: Samwise on September 04, 2008, 07:25:23 PM Because you don't think you'd get enough fun out of it to justify the $10, or because on principle you think programmers only deserve to be paid for their labors if they work for big companies?
Title: Re: Steam Stats Thread. Post by: Azazel on September 18, 2008, 12:27:55 AM The former from me.

The first bit. I didn't get it back when it was free, so why would I pay $10 for it now? Also, my usage history of two different TESCS has shown me that I'll probably not use it to make anything. Also also, I'm a big cut-out-the-middleman guy who would be much happier buying games directly from the developers, but they should make things I want. This is why I paid for the Mount & Blade beta but have not given Toady One anything for Dwarf Fortress (waiting on a UI that I can deal with). Grabbed this today: 79,042 93,002 Counter-Strike: Source 73,127 86,324 Counter-Strike 12,930 17,133 Team Fortress 2 11,065 13,605 Condition Zero 7,253 8,258 Day of Defeat: Source 3,181 3,759 Zombie Panic!
