Despite 30% of roses, Valve continues to dominate the digital distribution market, while EPIC with 12% and the generous discount system cannot conquer the leadership.
Why? Analyst Chris Zukovsky is sure that the whole thing is in psychology.
According to him, Steam managed to develop a unique object – gamers who bought massively games for the future, without even playing them right now. In fact, Valve has expanded every player, promising that someday they will have time-and it has been active.
Zukovsky provides data: Most of the Steam Next Fest participants only add projects to Viviller, without the free demo boot. Moreover, many gamers openly admit that they only start a small part of their library.
An example is journalist Chris Ray, who owns 6062 steam games, but only releases about 20% of them. Steam did not earn money to participate, but based on hope – and this was exactly his genius.
