Best-selling Steam games of 2015 list has a few surprises

Steam's massive. So massive that it recently surpassed the 12m concurrent users mark. That's an incredible 4m up from the same period a year ago.
But a new list published by the brain behind Steam Spy breaks down how massive Steam is with the best-selling games released in 2015 - and the amount of money they made.
Now, it's important to note that Steam Spy isn't 100 per cent accurate. It presents data provided by Valve that reveals the number of "owners" of a game. Steam Spy creator Sergey Galyonkin says "owned" does not mean "sold". The figures include games bought on Steam, in retail and then activated on Steam, bought in bundles through promotions as well as copies temporarily given away on free weekends.

But it's generally agreed that Steam Spy is accurate enough to be useful.
