Valve's PC digital gaming platform Steam has reached a new concurrent user milestone. According to Steam's "Stats" page, 10,761,566 people were logged in at the same time on October 18. That represents a new all-time high, surpassing 10 million in June, which was up from 9.5 million in May.

Steam is one of the most prominent platforms in all of PC gaming. By Valve's latest count, it had more than 125 million registered users and 6,000-plus games.
 
The top five Steam games right now, based on current player count, are Dota 2 (free), Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, Team Fortress 2 (free), Ark: Survival Evolved, and Grand Theft Auto V.

In other recent Steam news, Valve has said it has no plans to bring advertisement to the platform. "It would be a bad business decision, let alone just dumb," Valve's Erik Johnson said.
 
Looking ahead, Valve hardware--including the Steam Controller, Steam Link, and Steam Machines--go on sale in November.

Valve eating the whole market share of the digital distribution industry can be a good or a bad sign. Good if they keep improving/fixing their services (for example their bad costumer service) and keep releasing features based on what the consumers need. Bad if they stop innovating and release features based on what the video game companies need to make more money (For example, those ads they mention on the post).

 

It will be a monopoly and you won't have any alternatives to switch in case you want to stop using steam.
