The
Steam Game and Player
Statistics page shows Valve's Steam service has set another new record for
concurrent users, reporting the service broke the 8.5 million mark around noon
PST yesterday, peaking at 8,500,222.
Earlier this week we
reported a new peak of 8,357,541, and
yesterday the new high-water
mark was 8,466,441. The two most played games they list remain
Dota 2 and
Counter-Strike: Global Offensive.
Update: The peak number they are
reported is now 8,500,096. There's no word on how or why this would be revised.
Update 2: The peak total they now report is 8,500,035. My advice as your
broker is to sell if it drops below 8.5M.
It's not clear from the interface, but it is possible I am still the only
entrant in the
Blue's News Playoff Pool, suggesting the prize of bragging rights is not a
sufficient draw. That's all well and good, because I am not above bragging about
coming in first place in a pool of one, so don't be surprised when I rub
everyone's face in that.
