MODERATORS
Ah yeah my bad its the number of sales where indie games win. In terms of money its almost 50/50 tho. People are sick and tired of expensive garbage games and that shows in the drastic changes in revenue from 2023-2024.
Ofcourse if you include in game costs, then it probably changes again.
Be careful not to make the data fit your conclusion. Anecdotally, I've observed a similar sentiment, but for one thing, AAA releases have slowed down due to long development times, so there just aren't that many of them in a given year. For another, we know that, by a wide margin, most time spent gaming is only on a handful of mainstay games that first debuted years ago, like Counter-Strike 2, Grand Theft Auto V, Fortnite, Minecraft, etc. Plenty of those aren't on Steam, but the same concept applies to the games that top the Steam charts.
