Why do Counterstrike and the other top 10 games on Steam NEVER change? (lemmy.world)

On Steamcharts, Counterstrike has been the #1 game on Steam every single day I have EVER looked at this site, for at least 3 years now. This top 10 has basically been the same for years... I don't get it. Do people just not play anything else?

Dota, Rust, PUBG, GTA V, Call of Duty, Apex.... Admittedly, Satisfactory is new to the top 10. Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Siege FINALLY fell out of the top 10, adn so did Destiny 2.

It just feels like it never changes, which is crazy.. what happened?

Because Fortnite isn't on Steam. Super sure if it was, it would have usurped CS for the top spot.

Keep in mind that Counter-Strike has been a massively popular competitive shooter with tournaments and the biggest pro scene in the West for decades. It's had years to cultivate its massive following. Most of the other games on the top 10 are babies by comparison to CS's old man status.

I actually do really enjoy Fortnite, but according to their in-game stats, it's hit a lull. The other one is minecraft... idk what people do in that game though. Never tried it haha. just seeking something fun and it's just the same games every single month....

Minecraft is so moddable, most people playing Minecraft might actually just be playing another game built inside Minecraft lol

Damn I wish it was on steam. The workshop installing/uninstalling mods would be sooooo easy

The front-end launchers that are most popular basically work that way; they have browsers that makes installing mods as simple as one click. The Bedrock edition also somewhat works that way, it just has fewer impressive mods and they're not free.

Can confirm, BuildCraft was Satisfactory before Satisfactory
