Welcome to the largest gaming community on Lemmy! Discussion for all kinds of games. Video games, tabletop games, card games etc.
1. Submissions have to be related to games
Video games, tabletop, or otherwise. Posts not related to games will be deleted.
This community is focused on games, of all kinds. Any news item or discussion should be related to gaming in some way.
2. No bigotry or harassment, be civil
No bigotry, hardline stance. Try not to get too heated when entering into a discussion or debate.
We are here to talk and discuss about one of our passions, not fight or be exposed to hate. Posts or responses that are hateful will be deleted to keep the atmosphere good. If repeatedly violated, not only will the comment be deleted but a ban will be handed out as well. We judge each case individually.
3. No excessive self-promotion
Try to keep it to 10% self-promotion / 90% other stuff in your post history.
This is to prevent people from posting for the sole purpose of promoting their own website or social media account.
4. Stay on-topic; no memes, funny videos, giveaways, reposts, or low-effort posts
This community is mostly for discussion and news. Remember to search for the thing you're submitting before posting to see if it's already been posted.
We want to keep the quality of posts high. Therefore, memes, funny videos, low-effort posts and reposts are not allowed. We prohibit giveaways because we cannot be sure that the person holding the giveaway will actually do what they promise.
5. Mark Spoilers and NSFW
Make sure to mark your stuff or it may be removed.
No one wants to be spoiled. Therefore, always mark spoilers. Similarly mark NSFW, in case anyone is browsing in a public space or at work.
6. No linking to piracy
Don't share it here, there are other places to find it. Discussion of piracy is fine.
We don't want us moderators or the admins of lemmy.world to get in trouble for linking to piracy. Therefore, any link to piracy will be removed. Discussion of it is of course allowed.

Peak Online: 37,185,128
Date: 2026-05-19
A new record has been reached. And I feel like Saubnatica 2 and Forza Horizon 6 are partially responsible for this new peak. I don't see anyone talking or posting about this new logged in users of Steam.
EDIT: Today it just got a new record again! A few hours after I posted this post, lol. To me stats and numbers are interesting. New numbers:
Peak Online: 37,497,703

You do not provide any alternative or useful perspective. You just say its not worth talking about this, because you do not care. Which in fact means I should stop talking. And yet, you still talk about it. Looks like this post was more useful than you initially admit it.
Just because I disagree with you does not make me angry. Or are you angry because I do not agree and assume others are the same? No need for personal attacks. I don't know why you think I'm angry. The entire time you tried to tell me how useless it is to talk about this, and if I go to school or work and tell everyone about the population every day. Which is clearly a misrepresentation of what my post is, because 1. its not every day, 2. its a highscore peak of a subject we care
Nice gaslighting. Would probably work better if you hadn't replied 6 times in less than an hour and to a post with 30 upvotes and only 1 downvote.
My comment has upvotes, what are you talking about?
I was also responding to someone messaging me, is that somehow supposed to be a mark against me? They also commented the same amount of times, what’s the point of bringing this up?
Cause you're calling them angry based on the fact that they're debating you. But they're in their own thread discussing something they care about while you're in a thread that according to you is pointless.
Claiming this isn't interesting or news and yet the thread had 47 upvotes and only 1 downvote. While your comment has 7 upvotes and 6 downvotes, which makes it quite controversial and not what you make it out to be.
That's gaslighting.
You've said it yourself, numbers go up all the time, that's not news. Why are you surprised? Lmao
Celebration of things people care brings people together, which in turn brings topics to talk about; be it smalltalk or sometimes revealing interesting details. I'm doing this or responding to others posting this since years, even before Lemmy, on Reddit. It's a fun topic and I was just surprised no one brought this time this specific peak number into a discussion yet. That's all.
No one is angry, no one is mad, just having fun talk and discussion. Everything is fine. This is a fun topic and sometimes not everything needs to make sense for every one else. I give you the benefit of confusion or not able to communicate well and not bad intention. My hope was that we get to some peaceful end, but it didn't work out. Have a nice day.
Understandable. Have a nice day.
