Hahaha! Dude that was the funniest thing I've read in a while. I love how console scrubs try to find ways that their dvd player with game compatibility is better than PC gaming. I've been console gaming my whole life, but once I started playing PC, I couldn't stop ^-^ PC Master Race

DrGrim They definitely handled it better this year than last year. I didn't have a single issue downloading games, or reaching the actual store because of all the users.


You get an update every so often, it's free, you get the biggest sales I've ever seen daily and so many good free games! It really does surprise me why consoles are so popular when there's PC gaming, even though I have always had a console

DeluxeHazard That is an incredible achievement knowing 8 million people are using something they created. Congrats to Steam.


well actually there are 75 million "active" user. Don't know how they determine active but. 8Million is pretty damn good but, I suspect this time next year it will be around if not higher then 10 million
