What does "online" mean when talking about a single player game? I am thinking about playing oblivion on xbox360 and I can not understand what being "online" would mean.
I believe that it's only considered "online" because you have to be connected up to Steam in order for it to play. I don't think you really get anything out of it from being online.

It just means that they are playing it right now. Since most people stay logged in while playing SP Steam games, they can tell how many people are playing any given game at any given time. In other news, I'm proud to be one of the 240k. :)
Wow, Counter-Strike is still number three, over ELEVEN years after release?!
I see this particular usability faux pas way too often. If you roll your own flash video player rather than host videos elsewhere or use one of the mainstream well-designed open/commercial flash video player apps, let viewers control the volume.
Binary On/Off sound toggles on flash apps are ridiculous. Furthermore, a custom flash video player app should remember the volume setting (per-domain) so viewers don't have to monkey with the volume every time that flash app appears.

It has been developed and revamped over time. Counter-Strike today has not much to do with the original HL mod.
Is MW3 Steam-only? If so, it would be a lot more impressive.
Is that really a Steam record? The table shows the number of people who are playing NOW and the peak in the last 24 hours.
For a chart with these numbers have a look at http://steamgraph.burstpixel.net/index.php?action=graph&...
what's trippy to me is how smooth and recognizable that cosine wave is
I'd like to see a longer data set. Judging from the small segment we see, it appears the peaks (U.S. evening and night) hours are sharper than the troughs (U.S. working hours). I expect the peaks on weekends are higher and broader. Fun. :-)

It seems so at least according to http://steamgraph.burstpixel.net/index.php For a chart with these numbers have a look at http://steamgraph.burstpixel.net/index.php?action=graph&...
If you go to the graph screen, the graph only goes back to mid march 2011 and won't go back any farther, no matter how far back you request. It probably began gathering stats then.
