    Are we not talking about PC market? Steam is a PC platform. What are you even talking about then? Steam market share on PS5?

      we’re talking gaming, of which pc is a niche. a shrinking one at that. nobody is claiming sony has a monopoly on the ps5, ubisoft and wb are seemingry happy to pay them.

        Absolutely not. PC is growing, and continues to grow year after year. Consoles are on a slight decline, but PC has never really stopped growing.

        You’re really gonna need to start citing some sources at this point.

        And Valve didn’t create PC. What a bizzare argument.

        What a bizzare argument. Nearly half is “niche”? Shrinking?

        You people become weird when defending corporations.

          but valve created steam, which the publishers willingly signed up for even though both ubisoft and wb games have been on pc for longer than valve has.

          i think that graph also needs mobile to get the full picture, but i’ll concede that i based my statement on old numbers. the market share seems to be holding steady. still, 40% seems about right.

          by the way, i’m using “niche” to mean “smaller part of”, maybe that’s not the correct usage. blame esl.
