    Valve says the data proves “Steam isn’t just a storefront—it provides social community, game discoverability, interactive events, and a deep set of game-enhancing features to attract and retain players who will be checking out new games in the future.”

    I think it proves that Steam is the largest storefront on PC and that PC is growing and replacing other platforms.

      PC is the fastest growing market. Consoles are slumping and I think the return of Steam Machines done right would accelerate the market shift.

      I haven’t seen an interactive event on Steam for, like, a decade. Unless they’re counting sales as interactive events. 🤔

      They used to have, like, gamified events where you’re earning things (like maybe trading cards or badges or other Steam profile items) by playing a small little browser game inside the store page. Those were always fun.
