How many people play base-building games on Steam?

The ten most played base-building games have 74,836 players on Steam between them right now. These are Steam players only: games that also run on their own launcher or on console have players this number cannot see.

Which games count as base-building games?

Games whose Steam players voted "Base-Building" as one of their defining tags: among the game's five most-voted tags, with at least half as many votes as the top one. A game that merely has a few Base-Building votes does not count, which keeps the list to games that are base-building games, not games with a Base-Building moment in them.
