Ok, it’s done. I’ll double check everything tomorrow, because these things tend to break at night :)

We’ll be moving to a new server (woohoo!) on Wednesday, expect outages and possible data gaps.

Ok, it seems we’ve resolved most pressing issues. Still hoping that the server upgrade will resolve the rest of them :)

Sorry for the recent issues, we’re working to resolve them.
We are planning to move to a more powerful server but it takes longer than expected because of the hardware shortages :(

There was a configuration bug on my side that resulted in some data losses. Some of it recoverable, so, hopefully, it will not be a big deal.

The site is temporarily down while we’re fixing the file system. We have full backups from this morning, so while it’s unfortunate, it shouldn’t lead to any data losses

The site is back, but the API is still struggling a bit. Still looking into it.

IMPORTANT: If you using Steam Spy API, we'll be adding pagination to the "all" request. There just too many games on Steam to process in one API call without it.

We decided to share the complete sales history of Curious Expedition 1. All the details by year, region, platform + dev history, marketing and more. We crunched the numbers!

Just updated my crude SteamScout tool, now it can also breakdown reviews by the reviewer's playtime.
Also, some performance improvements so that the page loads faster.

I made a simple market research tool to see the number of reviews broken down by language. This way we can compare how games perform on a certain language/region. Here's togeproductions.com/SteamScout/ste
or pls add something like this to your site.

Steam published an article on performance of new titles. It’s very interesting, take a look

Valve has made some changes to API (probably in response to research last week) and it broke Steam Spy. Again :)
The fix is live, but it will take some time to repopulate the data. Sorry about that.

. has broken its record for most concurrently online users that was held for two years. Previous record was 18,537,490 users. It's still increasing!
But there's about 1 million less players actually in-game (≈5.8mil vs ≈7mil two years ago).

And here's account creations charted monthly.
What could have caused that jump in the beginning of 2019?

Counting accounts that have last logoff date since last December, there's 107mil active accounts.
And only this January (so last 24 days): 86mil.
Worth nothing that logoff date is visible even if your profile is private.

Replying to @thexpaw and @SteamDB
it's possible to know the number of active accounts? (Non private)

Here's how many accounts were created per year.
NULL is a private profile.
2026/2027 is 🤷♀️

I have scanned all of steamids on Steam (from 0 to 1.1bil) and turns out there's only ≈667.7 million registered accounts.
~500mil to ~830mil range barely has any accounts registered (only like 2.5mil).

Since we're talking abt Steam Labs, here's a weekend project: Steam Diving Bell
Exact opposite approach of Steam's (cool!) ML Recommender, mine relies 100% on DUMB algorithms.

Add "?appid=39140" on the URL (sans quotes) for a specific game.

This is really interesting. And their recommendation algorithm actually worked for me - it recommended a bunch of good games I actually bought on other platforms.
