for example. on cod4 the steam charts shows that there's only 200 people playing but if u go to the game servers u will see that more than 3000 people are playing the game and ive heard something about cod4 on pc that players use CD disc instead of steam so i want to confirm?

CoD4 is not a Steamworks game. If you were to buy it retail you wouldn't activate it on Steam, and thus Steam would have no idea if you're playing or not.

No. That means the game does not require Steam. Just like Ubisoft games. You can buy them on Steam, but also elsewhere. The other copies activate on UPlay instead.

It only shows users who are playing on Steam account that own the game. Nothing else.

Steamworks games always activate on Steam. Skyrim for example is Steamworks and no matter where you'd buy it from it would be run through Steam.

CoD4 is not. So Steam can't track any user that has the non-Steam version.

ahhhhhh i understand all ur points now sooo uplay only players wont show on steam too?

Cathulhu 12 Nis 2018 @ 9:50

Exactly. Only players using the copy sold on Steam would show in Steam statistics.

No, if a Steam game uses UPLAY it also uses UPLAY servers. So everyone plays on the same servers , even the people who bought the game on Steam since it still needs UPLAY to function.

But the Steam player statistics ONLY count how many people on Steam currently have the game running, not if they are online or on servers.
