Is that the equivalent of looking up your symptoms on the internet when you&#8217;re feeling a bit unwell, only to be told that runny nose means you definitely have cancer and are dying as we speak? Maybe, but I definitely understand the anxious desire to check in on a game you&#8217;re not quite ready to let go of yet.<\/p>\n<p>And then some of you are just downright mischievous: 10% said you look at Steam playercounts to ragebait Marathon fans.
