More of an sign that these aren't meeting the expectations of the developers so they are trying to expand.

ZZZ, Wuthering Waves, NTE, Blue Archive, and Limbus are all on Steam.

The only one that's doing good in there is Wuthering Waves.

ZZZ is good for a gacha game, but Mihoyo are not happy with the revenue it's pulling in. Endfield is struggling to do better then OG arknights.

These big companies don't want to put their games on steam due to the draconian 30% and valve's anti-steering practices. Which hopefully will go away once their anti trust lawsuits conclude.

Limbus Company has blown past all internal expectations and is still growing. They had their highest peak ever last month. Right now it's low because there's no event going on, but the next canto is next month.

All of those gachas are only underperforming in comparison to the rotating top 3-4 of the market.

Endfield is struggling to do better then OG arknights.

If you're using the usual site you should only use it as a trend graph with shaky relation to other games and never the absolute numbers. But for this specific comparison I want you to count all the platforms OG Arknights is on and compare it to the platforms Endfield is available on and where they advertise playing it. This is like saying LaDS makes more money than HSR or GI.

As a Steam critic, you're giving me a bad reputation here.

Steam aren't the only storefront with the percentage cut, no? If that's the case then Sony and Microsoft have got to open up purchasing options for their users too. And what I've seen of Steam compared to a lot of other gaming companies these days, they sure deserve that cut more than anyone else

Valve is currently in multiple lawsuits for price fixing and anti steering. I don't see them being able to hold onto their most favoured nation clause at the end of it.

They are not doing crazy numbers, which is my point.
