Comment on I hate when a PC game is ONLY available on Epic Games store
AwesomeLowlander@sh.itjust.works 2 weeks agoSteam has an estimated revenue of 8.6bn out of PC gaming’s overall 45bn.
Do you have a source on that? I’d love to quote it in future

Ah. I was not expecting numbers for 2023 under a 2003 year heading.

Does the image have a source? Also I don’t think just revenue some us the only Barometer for a monopoly. If something has very few users but had really high prices that they’re willing to pay for them by your metric they’d be closer to a monopoly than steam

Yes, the image has a source and everything is detailed in the lower part of the image.
But that’s exactly why the EU classified Apple as digital gatekeeper: iPhones have a lower installed base than Android in the EU but higher spending.
Given the massive popularity of Fortnite, I wouldn’t bet if Steam has a higher installed base than EGS. People just prefer to buy on Steam.

The apple thing wasn’t about apple vs android for a monopoly. It was about how there’s no alternative option on ios for purchasing apps. Android is completely irrelevant to that decision.
