Steam Passes 30M Users [Oct 18, 2010, 11:19 am ET] – Share – Viewing Comments
Valve announces that Steam has surpassed the 30 million account mark. Here's word on some of what this represents:
During the past 12 months the platform had year-over-year new user growth of 178%, pushing the total number of active accounts to over 30 million, with over 1,200 games now offered. Peak simultaneous player numbers were also up to over three million, with over six million unique gamers accessing Steam each day.
In addition to new user growth, Steam sales during the trailing 12 months increased by more than 200%, putting it on track for a sixth straight year of realizing over 100% year-over-year growth in unit sales. To meet this demand, the Steam infrastructure has been increased and now has ability to run at 400Gps, enough bandwidth to ship a digitized version of the Oxford English Dictionary 92.6 times per second.

Didn't know you get free support in case of problems if you pirate a game, I always though this was limited to those who actually buy games...
Support is overrated, and most patches work on cracked games. Sometimes you have to replace the cracked .exe with an original .exe backup, patch it, and then replace it with the cracked .exe again. Didn't have to do that at all this year however.. and there's been one hell of a lot of games I didn't buy this year. Thank god...
