They’ll say they don’t get it, young simmer. They’ll ask, “You do what all day? You work for a living, and then come home to play a videogame where you work a different, more grueling job?” They won’t see the irony in saying that and then queuing for ranked in Street Fighter 6.

In fact, it seems like there are more than ever. Over 13 years after its release in 2012, Euro Truck Simulator 2 has surpassed its all-time concurrent player count peak on Steam, according to SteamDB.
