Steam's User Numbers Show PC Gaming is Dying Again

fad thread is bad thread

So? Steam has over 200 million active users..

BEAT THAT

Gotta love that logic. If you take 3rd person shooters , RPGs , racing games and other shit consoles fall behind fast in sales.

See what I did there? Just because those games aren't predominant in consoles, doesn't mean they are dispensable.

As long as there is a large number of players supporting one of my favourite games - DOTA2, I don't care about numbers.

Luckily there is a huge number of gamers around the world who support the game and many others..

Why is it this thread once again?! Why is it even needed every half million concurrent users? Does anyone care? We don't even have these threads for psn/xbl/nn; what makes this any more special?

Too many questions...

how is this a fad thread?

@_Matt_: Don't think concurrent numbers are given out for PSN/XBL

Farmville must of released an expansion pack.

so much butt hurt in this thread.

That's a big Pile of Steam all right. :P

PC dont die, we multiply.

Gotta love the salty anti-Dota comments

Are we going to pretend Call of Duty games aren't the most played on consoles now? :)

I'd be curious to see a breakdown by region. I'm curious as to how many of those concurrent users are in Asia. I know Koreans play the hell out of PC.

@naz99: Yep, you sound a little butthurt yourself good sir

Yeah, Live and PSN i think have more active accounts

Steam has more active, total, and concurrent accounts than PSN or XBL.

Stop being an idiots and learn what the three mean.

Consoles win again.

This thread is about concurrent users

Do you have the evidence to back up that claim?

Steam has more ACTIVE accounts than PSN's TOTAL accounts. That should pretty much tell you all you need to know. Also XBL's last recorded concurrent was 2 million, Steam's is 10million. Yeah.

http://kotaku.com/there-are-over-125-million-steam-accounts-1687820875 (125M Active) (Estimated 200M+ Total)

@deadline-zero0: so 1 > 1.5??

Either way good for PC on one game.....maybe console gamers moved on to BB?

You mean Playstation gamers. And grats on one good game this entire gen. PC is way ahead according to Metacritic and Gamespot.

@Krelian-co: it says something when a community has to grasp at an old as dirt meme made by a guy who isn't even a hermit and was not intended as hermits have made it, but instead was made to show the pompous nature do PC gamers.

I roll my eyes every time I read master race.

or maybe is just a funny gif and we don't have a pole up our ass.

@Krelian-co: oh I get it....act non serious and say I have a pole up my ass...that way you'll look cool to all the kids.

You're the one that gets all pissy when ppl do to you what you do to others.

Either way....the master race thing is always used and you hermits still get boners for however it's used

You'd think with how superior it makes you feel it was a nude super model girlfriend.

@-God-: you have even played BB and you haven't even played any of the console games.

Your opinion is shit.

wait what? you make straight up bullshit and lies about people then get like a fuking wuss when asked for evidence, no one believes your bullshit anymore, you just make more bullshit then say it was because others do x thing to you, rofl such a garbage guy. Make more lies please.

#pc masterrace, dealwith it you fuking peasant, if you can't deal with the internet and some random joke because your inferiority complex then gtfo.

@Krelian-co: for fucks sake I'm not talking with you anymore.....you're like talking to a brick wall.

You flat out lied about me.....so I did the same to you.....an you're STILL whining like a fucking child about what goes around comes around.

I thought Nyadc was the biggest tool....but you might be worse.

For fucks sake dude....stop crying.

Says Mr.DestinyIsAmazing

Oh and you mean Metacritic and Gamespot's opinion.

This is you making bullshit about me, now, your turn to prove i made bullshit about you, of course you will come with some random excuse because there is none. Garbage got destroyed again and then acts like the victim rofl. Still waiting for you to prove anything you said in the second quote scrub. You are nothing but garbage.

a. I don't have alt accounts

b. i've never been banned

c. I'm not friend of any mod

d. Never ever have posted my steam account, not even once, not even a fake one like you said i did.

You have a lot of stuff to prove peasant. NyaDC may be an idiot, but the only guy i see making fake bullshit about others like a coward is you. Also i find it funny you accusing me of alt accounts when everyone knows you have several, rofl, the hypocrisy is so strong.

@Krelian-co: according to you.....I think WOW and LoL are the best games ever.

And apparently I'm an alt account of Cranler as it gets said everyday.

Maybe you shouldn't make up shit about ppls opinion if you can't handle others making up shit about you.

Now fucking man up and let it go.

Ah the reply i was expecting, no proof to back up anything i quoted you saying i did, like the garbage you are, makes bullshit and hides behind excuse due to lack of male genitalia, as for the LOL and WOW comments, i was using your own dumb logic when you posted destiny was a good game because it reached 20 millions, and since you are using the "people playing card" logic i just used it against you. Clearly, the same situation. Just face it, you are garbage that makes bullshit about people and then makes excuses, such a manly guy, you will go far in life. And no, Cranler, i will not drop it until you prove where did i say this:

Yes, PC gaming is dying and it will take a Halo port to revive it. Unfortunately.

@Krelian-co: @mr_huggles_dog:

and I'm pretty sure those PSN numbers are spread across different playstation platforms (Vita, PS3, and PS4)

I knew consolites wouldn't understand the differences between concurrent, active, and total.

Such feeble minds.

good point, hell even ps2 should count here

@The_Last_Ride: why would any of that count here?

@The_Last_Ride:

If PS2 should count then Origin, Battle.net, LoL, etc. should all be included along with Steam otherwise the comparison is pointless.

As opposed to a new thread for every PS4 sale?

Just butthurt that consoles have nothing that compare to the scale of popularity DOTA enjoys.

wrong, because Sony is one company... Using the other companies is a fallacy on your part. Valve vs Sony is not Sony vs PC...

Total accounts versus concurrent users. You are truly an idiot.

@The_Last_Ride: what does the total number of active users have to do with this thread?

rekt

@The_Last_Ride:

Right...so by that reasoning it should be Microsoft's XP / Vista / Windows 7 / Windows 8.1 / XBox / XBox 360 / XBox 1 vs. PS2 / PS3 / PSP/ Vita / PS4. You actually want to combine two systems with that logic LOL.

System user base / Company user base. I'd pick the logical one but that is just me.

I hope you truly don't believe that it should be Microsoft's PC/XBox vs Sony Playstation. Because that would be really pathetic.

In no fucking way is Halo 3's multiplayer better than Halo 2, you are out of your fucking mind.

lems have been trying to pull that card for a while now, they are that desperate.
