About a year ago I blogged about games that use curl<\/a>. In that post I listed a bunch of well-known titles I knew use curl and there was a list of 136 additional games giving credit to curl.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kind of amazing that over one hundred games<\/em> decided to use curl!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the time, lots of people told me that number was probably way low and while I kind of had that feeling as well it was just a feeling and nothing else. We cannot be absolutely certain<\/em> unless there is data or evidence to actually back it up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The speculation could stop this week when someone provided me with a link to a database of Steam titles (Steam<\/a>, as in the video game service). SteamDB<\/a> is a third-party site that among other things extracts data and figures out which “SDKs” are used by Steam games: Their list of game titles on Steam using curl<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since that list is capped at 10,000 titles, I had to filter it and add up the number of titles based on release year. Out of the 91,559 titles they currently list in their database, 22,734<\/strong> are identified to be using curl: 24.8%<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not too shabby for a hobby<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n
