      Not to mention the AAA games landscape kinda sucks now. You need loooong development time and the customers need reasonably expensive PC components to run the newest games. Those games keep getting more expensive while launching in bad shape (in many instances this is fixed on the launch day or shortly after, but not always).

      Meanwhile Steam data shows that the vast majority of players (~70%, IIRC) spend most of their time playing games a decade old or more. You don’t need an expensive computer to do that, and those games are often free or available on steep discount.
