Damn, that's a lot of infected computers on Valve's botnet.
more then WoW?
[QUOTE=krakadict;25485682]more then WoW?[/QUOTE] I think this is the 30 million registered accounts on Steam. WoW has something like 8 million [B]active[/B] accounts.
congraduletions
[quote]To meet this demand, the Steam infrastructure has been increased and now has ability to run at 400Gps, enough bandwidth to ship a digitized version of the Oxford English Dictionary 92.6 times per second.[/quote] Does this mean we won't get shit like "steam servers too busy to handle request" at all or just much less?
Heh, I remember back when it was pretty much only Valve stuff on Steam. Ohh how times have changed.
that's pretty fucking massive

[QUOTE=eXperion;25485796]I think this is the 30 million registered accounts on Steam. WoW has something like 8 million [B]active[/B] accounts.[/QUOTE] 12 million.
Grats VALVe.
[QUOTE=Kamern;25485931]Steam wins :)[/QUOTE] Because you don't have too pay $15 per month to keep your account active.
Really shows that my "friend" who is/was developing a game decided to pull out from selling it on steam is an idiot.
[QUOTE=EDDY TT;25486006]Really shows that my "friend" who is/was developing a game decided to pull out from selling it on steam is an idiot.[/QUOTE] Who would actually fucking do that? Seriously?
[QUOTE=Kamern;25485931]Steam wins :)[/QUOTE] Whoa holy crap, [B]active[/B] accounts? Unless I'm mistaken, the number of active Steam accounts is higher than the number of XBL accounts, I don't remember MS specifying if active or not in their reports (I might be wrong though).

Whats this compared with xbox/psn?
[QUOTE=EDDY TT;25486073]This idiot. [url]http://steamcommunity.com/id/bagnohax[/url][/QUOTE] What he's making and pulled from steam, I've still got the beta installed though hilariously. [url]http://steamcommunity.com/groups/nullbreaker[/url]
Even though there are 30 million accounts, I have never seen the active user count go over 3 million at once.
Valve is awesome :biggrin: congrats valve!
[QUOTE=Occlusion;25486080]Whats this compared with xbox/psn?[/QUOTE] [quote]On February 5, 2010, Marc Whitten announced that Xbox Live had reached 23 million members.[/quote] Note "members", not "active members/accounts". I think Steam is bigger than XBL and PSN combined, and then some.
Just think of the money pouring in.
Woah, every active user has probably spent atleast 50$ on Steam, and that's like 150 000 000 $ for Valve
[QUOTE=Occlusion;25486080]Whats this compared with xbox/psn?[/QUOTE] Sony doesn't play ball with releasing PSN account numbers, I would assume that the active accounts are in decline or else they would have announced it. The most recent stats I can find are [url=http://www.gamesindustry.biz/articles/sony-claims-14-million-active-psn-accounts]14 million active accounts[/url] in November 2008, and [url=http://asia.playstation.com/sg/en/news/pressDetail/159150]50 million registered accounts[/url] in June 2010. As for Xbox Live, Microsoft announced [url=http://www.xbox.com/en-US/press/2010/0205-whittenletter.htm]23 million active accounts[/url] in February. So in terms of active accounts Steam has them both beat. [editline]18th October 2010[/editline] As for registered accounts, it probably beats PSN's 50 million as well, though we can't be sure.
:toot:, valve.
I remember when we were getting news updates about THQ, Ubisoft etc coming to Steam. Now pretty much every PC game is on there.
Woah well done valve! I love Steam as a platform
99% of which are inactive or scam accounts
That's half the population of Britain. (I think) Jesus shit.
