Quoting: MaathSo, what are the 12.5 million doing? Sifting through the morass trying to find a game to play? Or is it, if you have your Steam client open, you are a concurrent user?

Quoting: rkfgGood publicity (they really need it), competition is good for everyone. To name a few.

I never heard the theory that competition is good for one of the competitors.
Having a monopoly is good for a competitor (which then stops to be a competitior, of course.)

After changing my hardware, I got a survey on Saturday.

I bought and played it, now. Well, played parts of it. It does have style, it does have good music, but in the end, it's a collection of not too interesting mini games.

^-- This.

True but a lot did 3 years ago to yesterday :P

I wanted to buy a new processor for some time now, but I couldn't justify buying Ryzen 1000 or 2000. So for me, it's more like half a year instead of three.
