Yes, the start on startup thing is something I have wondered as well for Steam's numbers. The number of people playing games via Steam is usually quite paltry. But that is why I think Steam is a much better source for DD but as a gaming portal, people don't use it as often.

2.5 million playing consequetively is "quite paltry" now?

Here are the top games being played on Steam as we speak and teh number of players.  First column is number of players now, 2nd column is peak.

 

	82,083	116,551		Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 - Multiplayer
	68,736	90,935		Counter-Strike: Source
	56,398	75,085		Counter-Strike
	15,615	25,605		Football Manager 2010
	14,026	20,203		Team Fortress 2
	13,436	18,641		Left 4 Dead 2
	10,916	14,959		Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2
	7,707	7,748		Zero Gear
	7,499	10,726		Empire: Total War
	7,141	9,297		Condition Zero
	4,036	6,366		Football Manager 2009
	3,525	6,297		Day of Defeat: Source
	3,507	5,214		Left 4 Dead
	3,037	5,103		Garry's Mod
	2,473	3,675		Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War II
	1,962	3,176		Killing Floor
	1,841	3,144		Star Trek Online - Beta
	1,812	2,804		Grand Theft Auto IV
	1,427	2,754		Dragon Age: Origins
	1,373	1,972		Half-Life 2: Deathmatch
	1,154	1,657		Half-Life 2
	1,128	1,730		Day of Defeat

How on earth can Left 4 Dead have so extremely few players? I refuse to believe it.
