"All-time" when it wasn't on Steam for a like a decade 
Steam was smaller back then too.

But but a curtain fanboys of a console told me that CoD is dead

To be fair, COD was never huge on PC like it was on console. many PC users judged the game as a console shooter, and tended to prefer the more hardcore military shooters that are on PC.
Still that apparently changed with the first MW and of course Warzone.
So yeah not surprised this is doing well.

Thats strange. Ever since Microsoft made their pursuit of Activision and COD public, I've heard nothing but negative forecasts about the franchise on this forum and descriptions of an IP that's been in decline for over a decade. I wonder what that was about.

Steam had 25 million accounts in 2009. It now has over a billion. But hey great that it did double with 40x the users.

It's an odd coincidence.

Which is funny because the original COD 1 started out as a highly rated PC game, then the sequels all came to consoles. I never knew this until now but looking at the wiki COD 3 never released on PC. It says Treyarch was too busy with the console versions.
But I can see why consoles gamers love it and PC users are meh about it. COD is an easy game to play where the gamepad controls work fine and when MP came out it was a smooth playing 60 fps game. PC has so much more choice for shooters.

Steam has over one billion accounts
Though concurrent users still haven't beaten the 2018 peak.

Wether or not that billion means anything is another issue lol

I mean this is already 238k people not playing this on PlayStation. They need to tell CMA that Steam is foreclosing them or something.

Maybe it has 40x THW accounts but certainly not the users as many create fake accounts when they get banned in csgo, Dota or similar games. Valve tried to remedy that but it's still pretty easy.

This franchise won't be dying.
Anytime soon.

There are also a ton of other live service games on the market. Player time is limited.
Destiny has similar or better launch concurrents on Steam. And yet Sony bought Bungie with no issues.

This doesn’t mean the game will have legs. Overwatch 2 also has done well at launch despite a lot of negative feedback and the player count has started to drop after launch.
I do think COD still has a few more good years and they are taking a break so that will help keep people interested when the new game releases.

Sony isn't a trillion dollar valuation corporation buying up some of the biggest publishers in the industry. There's a huge difference.

And Microsoft bought Bethesda with no issues and then immediately locked out most of their future catalog like Starfield, Elder Scrolls, and Id software titles. Believe it or not, each new transaction is looked at in the light of previous business instead of in a vacuum.
Sony and Bungie were also very transparent and vocal that Bungie has a large voice in determining where their games land.
I would imagine Sony is probably willing to trade Playstation retail versions of future Fallout, Elder Scrolls, Starfield, and Doom/Quake iterations for COD. I doubt Microsoft is interested without a GamePass offering attached to it. I think we'll eventually see this happen even if the Activision deal folds.

If you liked mw 2019 you will probably like this one. If you didn’t then this won’t change your mind.
Me personally this could end up being my favorite CoD since the golden PS360 era but its only been out a day.

I'm always more of a BF fan but the state of things overall are so much better in this COD than 2042.
Other than a few nagging things the performance and servers have been great for me.
Still have small issues in the lobbies but once past that it's solid.
