Yeah, but Civ is within Steam's top 10 with above 15,000 players on a regular basis. So is CS:S, Shogun 2, BLOPS / MW2, TF2, and L4D2. *Including* (but not being exclusive) any of these games in a testing suite is almost a prerequisite for staying relevant and not just benchmarking fancy tech demos like AvP: 264 current players in the 1 million steam users online.
