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!:

    First, this is not what you said earlier, its a different statement. Also… where do you get that Valve pays publishers to use Steam as DRM? And therefore forces them a kind of exclusivity deal? No, Valve does not do that.

        I ask again: Where did you get that idea from? Any source other than “trust me bro” statement? Valve did not, unless you can proof your extraordinary claim with an extraordinary source.

          My own physical copy of Hitman Absolution. And the Steam code required to play a game with two physical discs.

          Because Steam was used as DRM.
