110000 players???

[Crass Spektakel]

right now https://store.steampowered.com/stats/ tells me that "Source SDK Base 2013 Multiplayer" had around 110000 players peak today. Clicking it leads to this forum.

I am confused, are there really 110000 players playing HL2DM?

Whats behind these 110000 players?

That is not the player stats for HL2DM.

This is the stats you need to look at https://steamcharts.com/app/320

Yeah, a lot of that is FiveM and other games that just make use of Steam's server browser system.

Those are players for custom source mods.

The obvious question is: what specific source mod is responsible for the boost? There was only a fraction of the current player count a couple weeks ago.

I am sceptical about a rather unknown Mod (and for that even FiveM is pretty unknown) having more players than Destiny 2 or GTA V.

Also the player numbers are fluctuating a lot. Player numbers on the same day change between 30.000 and 120.000 players. Other games do not remotely change this much at all. It feels like half of china is conspiratorially starting some obscure game in the middle of the night for exactly one hour and then all log off again :-)

Xeogin might be right:

example reddit discussion

"It looks like FiveM uses the libraries in the Source SDK to interface with Steam, but doesn't actually use the Source engine otherwise. Clever."
