Peak Online: 37,185,128

Date: 2026-05-19

A new record has been reached. And I feel like Saubnatica 2 and Forza Horizon 6 are partially responsible for this new peak. I don’t see anyone talking or posting about this new logged in users of Steam.

EDIT: Today it just got a new record again! A few hours after I posted this post, lol. To me stats and numbers are interesting. New numbers:

      This user was arguing, off-topic, gaslighting, and trying to start slap fights. Couple that with over 7 reports made by them against anybody who disagreed, I gave them a 3-day timeout.

      With that logic all other stores should break new records too, not just Steam. Just because the entire population of humanity grows, does not mean that everything in the world grows too. Especially with the current economy in the world.

          No, it’s just not exciting or worth talking about every day.

          Then don’t talk about it and let people talk if they wish.

          Do you go into work or school every day and pronounce that population of the world went up again?

          No, because I do not care about that.

          Steam is free and doesn’t cost money, that logic doesn’t work the same.

          As said, other stores are free to install and yet they do not grow like Steam. Also people die every day and you assume that no one leaves or stops using Steam.

          I will post and talk about new peaks and its interesting what discussions this brings up sometimes. Even this our very discussion how useful or useless it is is interesting to me. No one forces you to talk about subject you don’t care.

              You mean exactly why this hasn’t been brought up until now by you?

              You just took my quote out of context. I said I do not care bout the school or day population you said earlier. Here the full quote in context:

              Do you go into work or school every day and pronounce that population of the world went up again?

              No, because I do not care about that.

              What do you mean by:

              You seemed surprised people weren’t talking about, you have your answer now. You answered it yourself.

              ??? What did I answer? I’m surprised no one brought this new peak of concurrent users up. Usually people are quick to bring it up. That happened in the past often.

              People just don’t care, for reasons stated above, you’re free to do what you want.

              You don’t care. I do. Some people care, some don’t. If you don’t care, why do you even reply and discuss here? If you don’t care, just move on. I like talking about new high peak numbers. Block me.

                  You do not provide any alternative or useful perspective. You just say its not worth talking about this, because you do not care. Which in fact means I should stop talking. And yet, you still talk about it. Looks like this post was more useful than you initially admit it.
