That makes sense right? Aren’t 90% of games just kind of trash? If you open the store page and it says 14 Mostly Negative reviews of course you’re not buying it. Top 10% is a huge number and basically encompasses all the thousands of videogames I would ever want to actually play.
If you check one graph down below on the page, you’d find that in 2021 amount of games released was around 11k which is quite a bunch of games released in a year. By 2024 amount has doubled.
I don’t want to make any statements, but my speculation would be that most of these games are UE/Unity asset flips or/and AI generated garbage that is worth no one’s time.
If only major devs and solid indie devs are considered, revenue gap would probably be much narrower.
Jesus, the gamesradar site is absolute ass
The data: https://weloveit.io/developers/steam-revenue-report/
The top 10% of games make 98.80% of all revenue. Woof.

And even before all the AI slop flooding app stores we’ve had plenty of asset flip type games that barely counted as complete games.
Even before that. Atari kind of failed due to overproduction of bad games
Answer, per Sturgeon’s Law: “Ninety percent of everything is crap”
Right… Nobody is buying games with mostly negative reviews unless they’re under duress…
Or are huge fans of things like “Air Control”
almost suprised its that low, but I suppose “sex with hitler 2” has some audience
