If ever proof was needed of the strength of PC gaming circa 2012, and in particular the appeal of Valveās Steam service, look no further than this: over the weekend, over six million people were playing PC games on Steam.
Sure, thereās a big sale on, so people are buying games like thereās no tomorrow, but thereās also no single MASSIVE title like there was last year (see: Skyrim). Instead, as you can see, after DOTA 2āa game thatās not even technically out yetāthe list is pretty unremarkable.

It was only in January that Steam hit a then-high of five million concurrent users. To hit six within the same year shows just how popular the service is getting.
