Majority of studios surveyed say Steam accounts for 75% of overall revenue

The Epic Games Store is giving away two Styx games this week.

The new offering is geared towards 'senior decision-makers' across the industry.

PlayStation Store shoppers are seeing fewer undesirable search results. ThiGamesDE, a major publisher of shovelware like The Jumping Spaghetti, no longer appears on the marketplace. The games are inexpensive, duplicate versions of other titles that appeal to trophy hunters.
dude who made those games definitely made bank with them tho.
im glad they're gone tho
Too bad for the trophy hunters, but this action is necessary.
The existence of these games for the sole purpose of helping people pad their trophy list cheapens the experience.
It also clutters the store with garbage games.
I mean there's nothing stopping anyone else from being competition, the only thing that stops other storefronts is their own greed and anti-consumer practices. It's like they have the means but always mess it up with price gouging, crappy return policy and processes, heavy censorship etc. They cant resist the temptation to the level steam does
They don't have a monopoly. There's countless stores offering games at lower prices than Steam. Steam is just ideal because it's more than just a store front.
We should be far more worried when PS or Xbox goes totally digital with their closed off store fronts. Currently physical is always cheaper here in the UK by up to £20 for a day one release. If we went full digital with no competition, I'll be done with consoles unless they allow other places to sell games which won't happen.
Steam is good. EA trash, EPIC thanks for the free game, ubi who, battle.net ehh, GOG your cool to me, rockstar vomit.
And all the other ones too, steam is a nice hub i dont mind them having a monopoly. They are the only one keeping all the other storefronts in check. When steam goes down it's all over at that point.
