It managed to overtake a game released in 2013?

Very impressive.

It's consistently one of the most played games on steam.

112 thousand are playing it right now, making it the 9th most currently played game.

Dota 2 which is almost always the most or second most played game was also released in 2013

Well yeah, a game still popular after a decade must be pretty damn badass.

Age is mostly irrelevant in regards to game quality.

I still play the single player game all the time I wish there was some dlc for it though.

There is, it's called an online solo lobby, just for people afraid of playing with others like you.

I was hoping for more like The Ballad of Gay Tony or The Lost and Damned.

Those were fun.

If you think it would be more impressive that it overtook more recent games on Steam... Well look at the list, it overtook all of those too except CS2 and PUBG (if you even consider that a recent game at this point)

The picture in the article is the top 7, irrespective of release date
