Steam has over 100 million active user accounts

Valve has announced that Steam has surpassed a couple of milestones alongside the launch of the store's huge ‘Discovery' update. Over the past nine months alone, 3700 titles have been added to Steam, 1300 of which were actually new games.

Additionally, the service now has 100 million active user accounts, proving that PC gaming is very much alive and constantly growing. So far, the new store page seems to be pretty well received, allowing users to select what they actually want to see and follow specific content curators so that you can finally avoid digging through all of the backlog titles that have been dumped on to the Steam front page over the last few months.

Other useful features from the new Steam update include being able to track specific games you are interested in, something that could be particularly useful for Early Access titles as it will allow prospective buyers to follow the game and its development up until its at a point where they would feel comfortable investing in it.

KitGuru Games: Predicting the Next Half a Decade of Call of Duty Releases

Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790) famously once said: “The three absolutes in life are death, taxes and a new Call of Duty coming out every single year”. Sure enough, the US founding father has yet to be proven wrong, with Activision and a dozen studios having ensured that come the tail-end of any given year, there will be a new COD ready to release. And so, what can we expect from the franchise later this year? What about 2027, 2028 or even 2030? By looking back at the past two decades of Call of Duty games, their trends, progression and regression, I believe I can predict the next 5 years worth of annual COD entries.
