Steam Game Stats by country

As I live in Australia, and like many Australians, I look at the Top 25 games and can only think WTF?

So few Australians actually even know someone who owns games in the Top25 list.

Can you please introduce (game) stats that are broken down by country or nation.

I would also like to see this for the Steam Hardware Stats, but that is far less important.
- As Steam grows it sometimes looks like people are moving backwards hardware wise (globally).

No, everyone here is just over influenced by Dota 2, World of Warcraft, and TF2 (no offence as TF2 is OK, but for the hours these people clock up on it.... I dunno).

The Top25 games according to Steam are... baffling to say the least.
e.g. Counter-Strike is more popular than Counter-Strike: Source, and it's Aug 2013.

Really is that because you're the only Australian on Steam?

Sorry are you the national distributor for all games in Australia. Could you explain why gams are more expensive there. They ahd a hearing about this, but you seemed to have missed it. I'm sure everyone on the commission would grealy appreciate your national insight as to what Australians are playing.

I'm just saying that the ***global*** game rankings (Top50 for example) do not neccessairily line up with each nations Top50.

That's all I am saying, besides: It would be nice to break down the Steam stats by nation.

Yeah it would be cool to see what games are the most popular in New Zealand.

I agree, global game rankings would be the business.

♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥. You are mad. This is info that people in other countrys are dying to know. You, satoru, are from america, and news flash, the rest of the world doesnt give 2 ♥♥♥♥♥ about you or what you have to troll on about. You just shouldnt have said anything.

There is a reason NPD paid Walmart millions of dollars for the Point of Sale data, and why it costs thousands of dollars to get their data stream

Data is important and worth A LOT of money

The premise that the OP 'knows' what "Austrailains" play is utterly laughable. Just because their personal tastes are not refelcted in the 'most played' list, doesn't mystically mean that ALL Australians don't play those games. Sarcasm seems to be utterly lost on you huh.

Think larger scale than Australia dude, I am suggesting this for all nations so everyone knows what their neighbors are into.

I don't know why people feel the need to defend Steam 'as is'; if they do not want change then why surf the forums?

For example, Dota 2 is most popular in South Korea, and it skews the global stats.
There are many other examples and they would depend upon all the nations that have a large Steam user base; and future markets in developing economies may adopt different games (free to play, lower hardware requirements) than certain Western Democracies.
