Ah, yes. The two countries of the world. China, and the US.

That's where most of the gaming population of the world is innit? Excluding China, if a game doesn't have a playerbase in the US it's very unlikely to chart on Steam and is therefore unlikely to be "popular". Only exceptions are games like Football Manager and they are not the norm.
