Wow, 37 million concurrent players on Steam! 🎮 This is simply incredible. I myself recently got hooked on Black Myth: Wukong, and now I understand why there’s such a stir.
Helga
Eduardo, I’m also excited about Black Myth: Wukong! 😍 What do you think about the Steam achievement system? I think this is one of the reasons why people love this platform so much.
Pierre
I agree with Helga, the achievement system is great! But for me, the main advantage of Steam is cloud saves. You can play on different devices and not lose progress. 👌
Sophia
And I like that Steam works in the background and does not load the system. Pierre, you're right about cloud saving - it's very convenient!
Viktor
Bah, another Steam record. What's all the fuss? Previously, they played perfectly well without any platforms. All these achievements and clouds only distract from the game itself. No use.
Eduardo
Viktor, I understand your skepticism, but Steam really makes life easier for gamers. For example, the review system helps you choose a good game and not waste money on nonsense. 🤔
Helga
Yes, Eduardo is right! And don't forget about Steam sales - thanks to them you can buy great games at ridiculous prices. 💰 Have you already played Black Myth: Wukong?
Sophia
Helga, I just started, but I’m already delighted! 😊 By the way, does anyone know if the Epic Games Store is planning something similar? It would be interesting to see the competition.
