In a press release just issued by Valve, it appears as though Steam accounts have been created over 13,000,000 (13 million) times world-wide.
"We've approached the development of Steam the same way we treat our online games; we release something we've tested, we internalize the feedback, and then we release new features and functionality based upon the feedback received," says Gabe Newell, president and co-founder of Valve. "In Steam's case, we have millions of customers who are gamers and dozens of customers who are developers and publishers. In the past year, we've added over 100 new titles from third parties, grown to over 13 million active accounts, and introduced new features such as Guest Passes and Free Weekends. This growth has taught us a lot and inspired many additional features and services that we'll be releasing later this year."How many of the accounts are second (or third, fourth, fifth, etc...) accounts created by those banned for cheating? Look for even more games this year from even more top tier game developers.
