[@CrazyNessP]

you gotta make it way faster, like 5 minutes instead of 23

[@fnmikeygg]

This video is literally a look into my life.

[@iskiiwizz536]

what a shitty life LOL

[@ShadowDaDEV]

Great video, crazy how long garry's mod stayed in the list.

[@Avery_YTPMV]

So did Team Fortress 2 😮

[@MrSeatbelt]

Im surprised CS 1.6 held on as long as it did, even when GO came out.

[@Jake100animations]

Really good work!!!

[@MatthewWilliamMWK]

It's quite fun just watching the things dance around lol

[@ReubenSandwich420]

Palworld taking over and then immediately falling back down is pretty interesting.

[@attixem8389]

ye its not replayable like cs tbh only so much u can do

[@BOPBOPBOPBOPBOPBOPOB]

not really that interesting, it happens with all games that can be finished after a few days like portal 2 or cyberpunk 2077

[@Zorcky-2C]

And yet most of us don't know a single person who played Dota 2 😂

[@arctic.wizard]

It's really interesting to see the staying power of some games, and how others quickly come and go.

[@JMillers]

I never knew that Football Manager games were so popular

[@rainbowflash5937]

I wonder what happened in 2020 that the Source SDK 2007 got 100k+ players o.O?

[@aftsfm]

Team Fortress 2 will live forever

[@adamhercik581]

*Dota 2 enters the chat, refuses to leave, consistently racks up more players than the rest of the chart combined*

[@marcuspvxea]

These stats are so incredibly wrong. in 2011 Garry's mod had a player count of 20 000+
Same goes for a big far majority of these games, these stats are so off the charts.

[@figjowhe]

do you have any evidence of garry's mod having that many players in 2011?

[@V4ker]

Looks about right to me
