Valve leaks Steam game player counts

Numbers are sexy

Valve leaks Steam game player counts; we have the numbers

I don’t get why it has to be a leak. Why can’t they just show it all freely. It’s not like they’re showing who is playing, just how many.

I think Valve is working on their own “steam spy” tool and that’s why it’s probably leaked. But who knows…

I hope so. Those numbers are really helpful.

Maybe they don’t want people to avoid a game that has low counts. It’s not suuuuper secret because on the community pages you can see how many players are currently in any game.
