It was only last week I was writing about Steam's growth hitting 34 million players online, and here they are breaking another record to hit well over 35 million.
Doesn’t this number mostly just go up? I understand there will be waves as new games become popular and then wane, but surely they’re just going to keep breaking this “record” forever until the market for video games is fully saturated.

As long as Steam continues to grow, sure. This is pretty good proof that Epic isn’t putting much of a dent in their marketshare though.
If steam gets replaced by something else or the record breaking crypto prices make PC gaming unaffordable again, it might not.
It’s marketing. Ignore it. 🤗
