Recall, percentages are projections for masses that can only count to 100. It is, as this data demonstrates, a very limiting projection for logarithmic scales. When folks can see the cliff, they truly see the nepotistic curation Valve rerewards. There’s no «Surprise me!» like in spotify or bandcamp. «New indie titles to try!» «Indie of the week!» etc..

    Literally like…. 20 indie showcases and steam next fests and such a year which all promote indie games in their own preview/sale/etc?

    Edit: literally a bowling and pinball showcase going on right now with plenty of niche indie games?
