Stormgate , a new RTS game developed by former Blizzard developers , made its debut on Steam recently .

 According to SteamDB , Stormgate peaked at 4,854 concurrent users at launch . The numbers could increase when it goes free - to - play on August 13 . However , there is a good chance that the game will fall off the charts given its poor performance at the start of paid Early Access.
