>In 2024, according to BiteMe Games, apparently that number was on average 109,000 new paying customers buying a single game EVERY DAY. Which translates to almost 40 million NEW CUSTOMERS in that one year.

How is steam growing so fast with so many gamers?

>>718735694 (OP)
Proof they should have told the payment processors to go fuck themselves, I doubt they would have actually pulled support from steam being as big as the are.

>>718735694 (OP)
China and India?

>>718735694 (OP)
Steams continued growth even after covid is pretty impressive

>>718735694 (OP)
Simple anon

Normies finally figured out computers are better for video games than consoles. That and your Steam library doesn't actually take up space. And of course the frequent sales

Sales are running 24/7 on every console and always have been. The prices are almost always the same across the board. When will you retards understand this? If you want an actual benefit you should be focusing on key seller prices.

Wukong has 1.12 million Steam user reviews and only 50,000 of them are in English.

console rarely follow regional pricing

>>718735694 (OP)
There is no fucking way they gained 40M new users in one year when their record concurrent users stands at 41M.
5M, I'd believe it but 40M sounds massively inflated.

i went to gamestop today
no x360 or ps3 games
no wonder people have switched to p.c.

>>718737201
No, consoles still are better, and the gap is wideneling in their favor. Thirdies figured out intetnet. That's all that happened.

>>718737201
But you are still scamming by charging full retail pricing for a digital license. I get no disc, no box, no manual, nothing that would in the past justify the such a premium price. You are taking my money and giving me nothing, physically nothing but permission to play this game until this platform folds or goes under.

>>718735694 (OP)
Wow, I hope Valve doesn't turn to shit immediately after Gabe dies and I live to regret ever giving money to them.

>>718738301
they did, but OP's line is fucking retarded
it was chinese buying wukong that boosted 2024 metrics so much

>>718735885
The amount of money Steam has made since launch is dwarfed by what a major payment processor takes their cut from yearly. You really can't stand up to them.

>>718738540
Soon you will get none of that with consoles either. Its all going digital. The more costs they can cut the more they can profit. And you wont care because you'll still be playing the games

>>718738540
If anything, retail boxes are a scam as it provides waste and an extra point of failure. Physical media is also slower.
