Yes exactly as Koc states Steam counts everyone who has the game started ...
But if you look at the stats of the top 6 games 4 are MP only ( no idea if Football Manager is ..)
and only ETW is mostly sp .... so the interesting thing is the potential of steam ..even more
for those of you who dont play fps : cs,day of the defeat and red orchestra started as mods, zombie panic and insurgency are free mods ... with still a 1000 ppl online ...
so with steam ETW is reaching exponentially more MP minded ppl then b4 so the potential of a big and active user community is there ..
TGI
