Cyberpunk 2077 Helps Steam Break Concurrent Player Record
Steam has recently recorded a new peak concurrent player record of 24,804,148 users, this record comes after the previous record was broken in March as lockdowns and stay at home orders were issued. The release of Cyberpunk 2077 is a driving factor of the cause of this new record as the game recorded over 1 million concurrent users. The game had sold over 8 million pre-orders across all platforms leading up to its release with Steam sales accounting for over 50 million USD. This stellar release combined with the growing popularity of Counter-Strike: Global Offensive also surpassing 1 million concurrent players helped break the previous record.

Can anyone explain what the fuck does this mean? :D
Cyberpunk obviously has bugs, and so have most games at this scale on launch. The magnification is greater BECAUSE OF THE NUMBER OF SALES, and not because gamers are looking for proof of developer injected love in to product. Cyberpunk at its core is an amazing game, with a graphical nextgen engine to boot.
They have offered a full refund to anyone who is experiencing game breaking problems. Point is, at some point the whining has to stop, and either you enjoy the game or you don't.
