It probably happened to you too: you want to play something, but a flurry of video games which came out this year, ties you hand and foot until you complete your purchase. If that sounds crazy to you in and of itself, wait until you see the numbers from the study that speak volumes, yes, but also the shaky conditions we’re seeing on Steam.
And with so many releases together, it’s normal that many video games go unnoticed. According to the GameDiscoverCo newsletter, more than 41,000 video games have been released on Steam in the past three years, and 58% just on the platform. Nevertheless, successes can be counted almost with the fingers of one hand.

Other data provided by GameDiscoverCo is even more concerning, as more than half of all Steam titles He didn’t even collect $1,000.. Despite this, there are a lot of stars that can be put on the information, since the vast majority of these titles do not even aim to make money, but video games created as a hobby.
It is interesting that the category of bestsellers (quantitatively) is not occupied by triple A, but rather small projects. There are more and more successes out there created by smaller teams, a sign that independent publishers are choosing to invest in successful projects.
