Internet users have noticed that a person leads their gamer life quietly… In Antarctica! This situation raises many questions.
Steam, always on top!
Last year, Steam celebrated its twentieth anniversary. For more than two decades, PC gamers have benefited from this platform which has a very large catalog of titles. Over time, Valve’s service has continued to see its number of users increase, putting its competitors in a difficult position. Proof of its success, Steam is breaking record after record and the latest occurred last week. More than 34 million users were connected simultaneously to this platform, which far exceeds its previous record for the month of January. In short, since its appearance in 2003, Steam is unbeatable and continues to delight PC gamers.
It must be said that Valve takes care of its platform thanks to new features that appear regularly. In other words, users around the world seem satisfied with this service, regardless of their geographical position. Via an interactive mapit is also possible to see where users are located around the globe. However, this map has caused a lot of discussion among Internet users for a very specific reason: there is a regular player in Antarctica.
A Steam player in Antarctica and it panics Internet users
Steam’s interactive map shows places where bandwidth is particularly strong, which is not the case in Antarctica. However, there is apparently a player in this specific location who is active on this online gaming platform. This fact drives Internet users crazy who imagine the life of this mysterious player. According to users of
Reddit, the latter would be a scientist who plays from his base which is located in the region. Some have even gone so far as to identify the bases and one of them is named McMurdo. It seems to be the most likely place with its 200 to 1,000 inhabitants for a person to play titles on Steam, possibly via a Steam Deck. However, nothing is certain and the mystery continues. It must be taken into account that IP addresses are not viable since some people connect all over the world. Despite everything, many prefer to imagine that it is a scientist who plays his Steam titles quietly, in an environment where it is -18 degrees outside his base.
