I am not saying PLAYERUNKNOWN’S BATTLEGROUNDS is the best game of 2017, and I don’t even play it. But the way PUBG has dominated the Steam platform player stats, has been truly remarkable.

It’s been a while since a PC game has captivated gamers this much. The last game I can think of that was considered the best/most popular multiplayer action game on PC, was Valve’s Counter-Strike.

Speaking of Valve, I never thought a non-Valve product would ever take over steam stats. Steam has been around for 14 years, and this is one of the few times a non-Valve game has peaked at number one on Steam stats.

And PUBG has stayed there for months, and it does not seem to be letting up anytime soon. It could hit 3 million concurrent players.

What is your 2017 Game of the Year and should I do a PUBG giveaway?
