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

That's very impressive.
