It was just announced that Steam has reached over 15 million current Steam accounts. Additionally, there was a year-over-year sales growth of 158% compared to the same time last holiday season. Gabe Newell has also promised an increase in the development of new functionality within Steam.
"PC gaming is thriving, and has evolved into an era of constant connectivity," said Gabe Newell, president of Valve. "That connectivity gives us the ability to have a much better relationship with customers, not just for delivering our games, but across all aspects of our business - including the design, development, and support of our games. Features like Guest Passes, Free Weekends, Gifting, and the Steam Community have been very well received both by customers and the developers who are using Steam. We are accelerating our release of new functionality in the next year as well as finding new ways to work with our partners such as the release of Steamworks, which allows them to bring the many benefits of Steam to their packaged products."As for that 15 million figure above, I do not know if that includes only the active accounts that have games registered to it, non-banned accounts, or what have you. Your guess is as good as mine right now, but I believe these only include the active accounts.
yeah for me
