What today's Steam games reveal
The competitive trio did not move. The interesting rows are desktop toys (Bongo Cat, Task Bar Hero, Wallpaper Engine) squeezing a hero shooter down to 10. Three of the 10 names are now desktop utilities rather than matches. Overwatch leaving after BlizzCon's Doctrine trailer still trending on YouTube is a platform split: video interest, not concurrent Steam players. Palworld leaving rank 10 is the other drop-off; nothing in the stored JSON names a September 14 patch as the cause.
