amok: god... 74 million active users. a 15% increase from October.
I tried my best to avoid Steam, I always buy either physical copies of games or on GOG
Then I bought Fallout New Vegas (physical copy of course) and I could not install it without making a Steam account.
Then I wanted to buy Crusader Kings II and Europa Universalis IV and the latter was only available on Steam.
So I feel quite roped into being counted as an active Steam user, because despite the fact that I do *not* want to use Steam, here I am using goddam Steam (granted only on those games where I have no other choice)
I hate Steam, I really do. And it's a scary number of active users. Good for PC games in general, if there is a silver lining.
