It's lucky PC gaming's dead, else the interweb would be fucked.

Lots of useless stats unfortunately. We wanna know sales numbers.

Don't forget it helped COD4 to sell 10 million on the PC..

237 countries? Valve recognises more sovereign states than the UN?

Anyone have the LIVE stats on hand?

ya, thats what I was wondering too. Isn't the maximum (it varies by source) around 195 ?  Funny stuff.  Makes you wonder about the rest of the stats

Presumably, they're going by the number of ISO country codes. And... OMFG, there are 246 of them. Wonder about the rest of the stats no more.

I can't believe they're withholding the goodness from those 9 poor cunts, it's horrific.

Now- give me the list of Live supported countries, along with their capitals, population and why they're pissed off with the lack of support in their country.

Now wouldnt it suck if steam became subscription bases without an option

Yes.

Thank fuck it hasn't, and never will.

thank god Valve isn't Microsoft.
