[Brian9824]

In before all the claims that this is nothing but bots or steam faking their numbers

I've got my popcorn and can't wait to see the evidence which shows no records have been broken.

This is clearly the fault of that Loch Ness monster. He has tampered with the numbers. He's mad because he didn't get his three fiddy from Gabe.

All spam bots of course. Have you looked at their last game it's forum? It's a complete mess. It's only spam bots who post there. The entire forum is filled with ad-spam. There's not a normal player there, or you have to really search for it.
You shouldn't believe any of these numbers.

You mean Deadlock?

See for yourself. There's not a normal discussion there. It's all spam. It's not what a normal forum should look like.

Someone didn't read or doesn't understand what PLAYER count is. Nothing to do with people posting on the forum.

It's actually hellishly depressing. So many people with nothing better to do. Blind brand worship is unhealthy.

This guy gets it

Well I'm not surprised the platform has been incredibly popular since Day 1, was always increasing, saw huge climbs during the lockdown era, and still sees a rise even with a large portion having to use a region-specific client.

More access to internet and computing to play video games during their free time is better than going out and being trouble by having nothing to do. No one is blind brand worshiping either, but I do notice blind brand hatred when people are heavily justifiably moderated over time rather than admitting their own behavior is an issue.

Black Myth Wukong has an average of 2 million players as an example of legitimate logins. Concurrent users and spam in one hub are not the same thing, plus there's many, maannyyyy game hubs, so deadlock being spammed with invite threads is basically irrelevant entirely especially since most of those are by actual players.

3.2 Million users playing Wukong & CS2 on a Mondayout of 34 million logged in is a really good chunk of the concurrent logins.

You two clearly don't. Player numbers have nothing to do with the forums.

[AustrAlien2010]

Here, take a look at this:
https://steamcommunity.com/groups/archiasf
Apparently, people can simply make hundreds of "bots accounts" by using this.

One user can have dozens of accounts online at the same time. This will obviously generate huge player numbers, but those player numbers don't mean anything, if all those players are the same person.

It only took 5 posts.....

People shouldn't waste so much time online. They should think about working more and feeding their families.
(So I don't have to.)
