Is steam becoming the number one platform for all games?

You can already kinda do this in a roundabout way


Yeah, I've heard of the Gamehub app, looks cool.

I just know the compatibility is still limited. When arm-based android devices can work as well as proton on linux, where 90% of the Steam library is verified to work, and you have the Steam app just one tap download/install games...that will make the gaming market pretty interesting.
 
Can PC guys shut the fuck up. No one likes you.

I'm too poor for a PC
I wish they would shut the fuck up too

I have a high end PC. Does this mean we can't be friends?

Only games missing are Nintendo ones, so yeah, pretty much
Nah plenty still missing even excluding Nintendo. Astrobot, DS2, GT7, GoY, soon GTA6
And this is just PC, not "steam" that the OP is asking about specifically.
 
I use almost nothing but steam on pc. I consider it it's own platform. The features like bpm, steam input, and proton integration are above and beyond. And shopping on it is waaayyy more fun than anywhere else. With the way the store works with tags and embedded previews and mouse-overs is so slick. Then there's the key economy. So good and it's easy to amass many, many games.

Shopping on the playstation is painful, in comparison. It's usable, though. The switch really isn't. It's pointless to try to shop on it. As a result, I basically don't buy switch games unless it's a big physical release I can buy at a real store.
 
It's been like this for the entire gen. We deffo had users hoping it wasn't true, trying to find any evidence they can to show PC in decline and not exceeding consoles

We know what the reality is. It is the biggest platform by a large amount and that's why pubs simply can not refuse it.

Such an amazing comeback for pc gaming.

2026 though...yikes. I can't see how it can grow again because of this ram mess.

PC gaming managed to grow through two Crypto booms, when GPU prices for even the low end hardware was extremely high and scarce. It all depends on how long this memory nonsense holds on for.

Yep things are getting worse than some months ago, RAM prices are crazy and SSD's are getting a bit more expensive too i think, but i'd argue things were way worse in 2020-2021 and that's where the big growth started.

Back then even a meh CPU was expensive, now these are very cheap, NVME prices were really high as they were the novelty and graphic cards were just impossible to find.

It was impossible to find a PC with a 3060 for less than 1000€ back then, now you can get something a bit better for that price (better than a 5060 i mean obv)

But yea needing to upgrade RAM nowadays must suck, hope things are a bit more stabilized in 2027
