Uh you do realize that he was talking about HIS opinion of the various
RTS games based on people's recommendations, right?

What does steam's player count have to do with whether a game is GOOD or
not?
Being on the list just means it's popular and if you think they're the
same thing, the counter example is, well, most popular music on the
radio.  

Popular does not equal good, nor does unpopular equal bad, although the
inverses are usually true for games.
