sort of a misleading number

the number of big developer releases on Steam is probably not all that different than in the past, the real difference is there are an insane amount of mediocre indie titles being released by people in their basement's these days

occasionally you'll get a hit and a great game, but tons of shovelware is out there

Steam probably is still 'gaining steam', pun intended, but those numbers are crazy because of people trying to cash in on the fact that a lot of people will randomly pay a few bucks on a whim to try some small indie game. It doesn't represent a massive increase in quality games popping up
