News:: A game about driving tractors is more popular on Steam than Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare

That's right, Farming Simulator 17, a game about being a modern farmer and driving expensive tractors is currently destroying the just-released Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare on Steam, at least numbers wise. According to Steam's own stats, Farming Simulator 17 is number 23 on the top 100 games list (at the time of writing) with 26,044 players today, while Infinite Warfare is number 36 with over 10,000 less at 15,436 players. Obviously not a terrible debut for most games, but pretty bad for one of the world's most popular series, at least on PC.

While some may rush to celebrate this being the death knell for CoD, there are a few potential reasons for this. For one, Farming Simulator has been out for nearly two weeks and costs $25 less. Infinite Warfare is also for sale on the Windows 10 Store, which can't play with the Steam version of the game for some reason.
