Actually, it's way older than Russian...

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.

^-- This.

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