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 SECOND TIME: Today it just got a new record again!:
Peak Online: 39,532,653

Then don’t talk about it and let people talk if they wish.
No, because I do not care about that.
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 seemed surprised people weren’t talking about, you have your answer now. You answered it yourself.
People just don’t care, for reasons stated above, you’re free to do what you want. But don’t act shocked when people are identical to you with the opposite view?
Most people understand that this isn’t worth discussing, so they don’t post it, shocking eh?
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:
What do you mean by:
??? 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.
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.
Then don’t get pissy when someone else discusses that it’s not news and mind as well say the sky is blue? You want to talk about what you want, but others can’t provide an alternate perspective? If you’re posting here, you should be doing so in good faith, this isn’t.
Can’t have your cake and eat it too dude.
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.
I provided my reasoning and other people agree with it as well.
I know other people will find it interesting, I also know a good chunk agree with my opinion too.
You’re pretty angry about someone providing an opinion and reasoning dude.
Just because I disagree with you does not make me angry. Or are you angry because I do not agree and assume others are the same? No need for personal attacks. I don’t know why you think I’m angry. The entire time you tried to tell me how useless it is to talk about this, and if I go to school or work and tell everyone about the population every day. Which is clearly a misrepresentation of what my post is, because 1. its not every day, 2. its a highscore peak of a subject we care
This is why you’re angry, you’re missing my point to go on this crusade.
Feel free to talk about it, but I was providing a reason for why people HAVEN’T and you took that as a personal insult. You seemed to want more information, which I provided, and you just argued with instead.
Go take a breather or something, you’re way too defensive and angry over this. I explained something, you didn’t like it, and now here we are.
Nice gaslighting. Would probably work better if you hadn’t replied 6 times in less than an hour and to a post with 30 upvotes and only 1 downvote.
Celebration of things people care brings people together, which in turn brings topics to talk about; be it smalltalk or sometimes revealing interesting details. I’m doing this or responding to others posting this since years, even before Lemmy, on Reddit. It’s a fun topic and I was just surprised no one brought this time this specific peak number into a discussion yet. That’s all.
No one is angry, no one is mad, just having fun talk and discussion. Everything is fine. This is a fun topic and sometimes not everything needs to make sense for every one else. I give you the benefit of confusion or not able to communicate well and not bad intention. My hope was that we get to some peaceful end, but it didn’t work out. Have a nice day.
