Without downplaying this incredible achievement, I wonder how many CS GO cheater reroll there is out there. it must have gone down since they introduced the phone number requierement to play ranked, but I met people with 10 reroll a week to keep cheating the game
This is the relevant figure. Why did you not include it in the thread title?
Nah, I'm pretty sure 1 in 7 of the world's population has a Steam account.

Because that is an old figure, already known. I just put it in the OP for comparison sake.
The news is 1 billion total accounts.
I have a Steam account too, but it's pretty much inactive. I only have a few games that I can run on my laptop.
What I'd love to see is the real number, which is the active users who have actually spent some money to buy games and actively play them. I remember they have 90 million or so last year.

I've been using Steam since Half-Life 2. It has come a long way since then. By far my most preferred platform for PC games.
Is that sarcasm? I doubt there are really 1 billion users in Steam, so yeah, it has to be dupe account and bot accounts, etc.
47 million active daily users
90 million active monthly users are the last numbers
18.5 million, not 16. https://www.pcgamer.com/number-of-active-steam-users-passes-18-million-30-more-than-a-year-ago/
That is a lot of accounts :O
2 of those are mine, 1 when they forced steam upon us when they launched whatever version of CS and one several years afterwards when I forgot my account when I didnt play cs anymore :P

You don't need a phone number any more, you just need to pay for the prime upgrade now.
According to SteamDB there are 10,586,734 VAC bans across all games

That's 1%
Wonder how many are real accounts where a real human once bought a game (Obv somewhere between 90M and 1B).
At the end of 2017 ~275M Steam users had played a game through the service. 63M of those were new that year.
At that sort of growth rate, it could easily be ~350-400M now.
Obviously some games are F2P, but those are still "active" users.
How are you guys getting bots? I know they exist, I got three in the last 11 years. Is it because I don't really play any of valves games or something? I mean I have dabbled but never stayed with any of them. I got TF2 items and some CSGO...
My profile is also public lol...so is inventory. I trade xD
Same, I don't get a lot of bot exposure. I had one contact once which may or may not have been a bot, but otherwise nothing.
1 billionth bot
Wow I remember I must have gotten Steam the day it came out I think.
Fuck it's been a while. Super nostalgic. It's been so long I don't even remember what it was like at first. No store IIRC? All I remember is CS 1.6 and HL2?

Seems like the 16 i had in my mind was a little to old and long ago.
Edit: Seems like i was right.
The current concurrent peak is 16m
18.5 million was last year.

interesting. as others noted there must be a lot of bots, but nonetheless the amount of active users is amazing - as are the amount of payments from non-standard sources. payments must be such a complex and fraught area to contend with.
last night i saw that spotify had 100 million paying subs with subs growing 32% year on year, which is mind boggling.
i guess the question becomes, is it really ok that these services are this big and this utterly dominant in their respective markets?

They said in October MAU was 90M, then they said in January 90M, and that seems to be the last update.

It's based on account id. So yeah were different.
Steam doesn't use fully sequential accounts and there are blank spots. So actual account is less, potentially much less.
Do you have the source for that first figure? I'm curious from where it came. Google isn't helping.
I got my numbers wrong, but the source was https://galyonk.in/steam-in-2017-129c0e6be260
It's actually ~290M
Are there even that many crazy uncles in the world? hmmmm?
