Steam Sees Record-High Number of Online Players
Steam, an online platform for gaming, has seen some incredible numbers in terms of usage last night. Thanks to the COVID-19 pandemic and the fact that many people are in quarantine/self-isolation mode, the number of concurrent users of the platform has skyrocketed. Beating all the previous records of 18 million and 20 million concurrent users, Steam saw as much as 23 million concurrent users last night. Precisely 23,572,311 of users online, setting a new record-high number. The most played games were Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, Dota 2, and PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds.

It plays you
I don't play many games that require Steam anymore (granted, I have a lot of games on Steam and probably 1/4 of them I've never played or beat....stupid flash sales from many moons ago), but I just have it running in the background (old UI, not the new one that still gives me issues) so I can chat with a few people if needed. I guess Steam went from my main gaming digital platform to being more like a bloated AIM program.
Anyway, are more people playing PUBG? COME ON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Still though its not like I'm full of great ideas for articles atm :D
