Pareto in shambles
I read this and the comments and still don’t know what the fuck is considered “the top 20”.
I do reinforce the metrics by playing most games that are 10+ years old now. Though I do got my eye on Timberborn, but I’d assume that’s not the “top 20” and they are talking AAA bullshit I haven’t been interested in years because they just seem to be regurgitate repeats or copies of the same formula that worked before a AAA company just reskined it and added a $90 price tag.
In case anybody else had trouble grasping what the article is about from that headline alone:
As Tianyi Gu, manager of market analysis at Newzoo, put it, “On PC, the space below the Top 20 is becoming more economically meaningful. That doesn’t make the market unconcentrated, but it does make games below the very top more commercially relevant than before.”
