How many people play zombie games on Steam?

Which games count as zombie games?

Games whose Steam players voted "Zombies" 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 Zombies votes does not count, which keeps the list to games that are zombie games, not games with a Zombies moment in them.
