  Maybe steam is current players while NS2 is players over the last X hours?

  Some hrs ago this site said it's 67000 players, so I doubt steam is wrong...

  Not sure, but 12k sounds more realistic to me than 60k

  steam gives the the number of players who are currently playing while the page gives you something like "number of players in the past x hours"

  Gah. Cory convinced me that there is a problem. I spent some time on analysis and it looks like Steam Master Server is reporting dead servers too... That caused my code to do stupid things. The numbers are 100% correct and up-to-date now. Refreshed every 10 minutes.
