i'm not so sure competitive multiplayer games are "the gaming zeitgeist." They're popular, sure. But honestly they don't appeal to many or most gamers.

- vkou 5y agohttps://store.steampowered.com/stats/ https://store.steampowered.com/stats/ Sorted by active users: 860,000 - CS:GO 480,000 - DOTA 2 173,000 - Source SDK Base 2013 Multiplayer (Mostly a multiplayer GTA mod) 146,000 - Apex: Legends 130,000 - PubG 112,000 - Rust 93,500 - Destiny 2 88,400 - GTA V 76,000 - Rocket League 67,000 - R6:S 62,000 - Football Manager I think it's pretty clear that competitive multiplayer games are the gaming zeitgeist (On the PC). Rust, Destiny 2, GTA V + mod, and Football Manager are the only titles in this list that are really played in a non-competitive manner. Now, its true that in terms of copies sold, competitive multiplayer games are not quite as dominant.
- whateveracct 5y agoYeah I'd say it's been the PC gaming zeitgeist for a long time now. That's fair.
- teej 5y agoFortnite as of 6 months ago had 25 million daily active players.
- whateveracct 5y agoFortnite isn't really comparable to the list of top Steam games in my replies though. Like Brawl Stars is also super popular, but it isn't exactly a "competitive multiplayer game" like dota. Most people play it casually without a huge care of W/L.
