what's trippy to me is how smooth and recognizable that cosine wave is
No, it's totally a sine wave.

#12Is MW3 Steam-only? If so, it would be a lot more impressive.
Keep in mind that the console versions of MW3 usually has an order of magnitude more concurrent players than the PC version.

#13If it weren't for those damn spiders, it'd probably be double that number.

#14What 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.

79,000 is a joke for online xbox players. There are more people in the ground war playlist than that.

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 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. :)

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.

#20Wow, Counter-Strike is still number three, over ELEVEN years after release?!
For what it is, it's about as close to perfection as you can get. That is what gives it a longevity that other games have a lot of trouble matching. You see this in all genres, though, for example, I have no doubt that if Starcraft were on here, you would see it showing a similar longevity.
