Mad Max seems higher on that list than I would have expected especially launching alongside Metal Gear. The power of a movie license I guess.
If anything I'd say a movie license in the world of gamers is a chain around your neck, because there haven't been a lot of films that made the jump well. Mad Max did well because it was a legitimately good game, and while Metal Gear was a big deal, its not as big on the PC as in Sonyland.

And ET The Extraterrestrial is a legendary case.
>Indiepocalypse is cancelled, you can stop worrying now. I think I speak for quite a few people when I say thank God . I have nothing against indie games in general but the sheer volume of low-quality DayZ/Minecraft-inspired early-access survival game clones that were all broken in the same ways that were never finished by the developer have left me jaded.
I have been arguing with another founder about the double-y and how we should not use it.
What are peoples' response to the charts in this post? Do you find them easy to read/helpful/giving good insight into the data?

I would myself have guessed at least 50%, but that would be just based on anecdotal experience. I've bought the occasional Humble Bundle outside of Steam, but that's the only one for several years now. The same applies for all of my friends as far as I know.
What is the revenue split for non-Valve games on Steam? While I certainly wouldn't have any problem believing that 50% of game sales happen through Steam, that is not the same as Valve getting 50% of the game sales revenue.

I'm reluctant to breathe a sigh of relief yet. I've been visiting the Steam Store a lot less since they opened the floodgates to any and every game under the sun as I believe discoverability is now horribly broken and the queue and recommendations features both fail to mitigate the issue.
> PC worldwide core games market is estimated to be around $27B in 2015 (Newzoo). So, including Dota 2 and Team Fortress 2 revenue, Valve is controlling around 15% of it. Pretty impressive! Is anyone else under the impression this number is too low? I mean, sure, it's still impressive, but at this point I would honestly expect them to control 30-40% of the PC core games market at least. I'd find it easier to believe…
