Is Steam Graphs Real

I dont think this is MP only.

When you play offline you are still connected to steam (unless in offline mode) so it will record that as well.

I could be wrong of course but doesn't look right to me.

But only round about 1.000 players at release? Seems very low...
on the other hand considering the horrible state of the game back then, maybe not more than 1.000 players played the game at the exact same time....
I mean for the overwhelming majority the game was totally unplayable at the beginning

I dunno what the graph show, it seems a little bit shady
But honestly I hope that these are online counts, not overall player numbers!

from what i have seen its overall online players, i guess SP should be ruled out since no-one is sure, but still it looks very bleak when you look at the graph
