I knew Steam users would recognize quality when they see it.

I like how she is about to be abducted by some demon but he is still single-mindedly focused on getting into her butt.

 

[MrTroubleMaker]

Nice!

 

[ZehDon]

Ubisoft in shambles.

 

[gtabro]

"qualify on it's own"

Really Gaben? You don't have the money to hire a person to proof-read for mistakes lol?

 

[DenchDeckard]

Some good games in there.

 

[YCoCg]

Ouch, South of Midnight not even making it to the Gold tier and being in the Silver tier mainly with DLC.

Compulsion better get their resumes drafted.

 

[MrRibeye]

Going through ~20 years of sales data is like heroin

 

[Griffon]

Wow, seeing all the top monthly games since the beginning of Steam is wild.

 

[Futaleufu]

Somehow Xpand Rally, released in August 2006 is still available to purchase

 

[Ozriel]

Ubisoft in shambles.

What Ubisoft game released in April 2025?

 

[NanaMiku]

LOL 3 adult games on the top. The review for Tennis Angels said the tennis gameplay is pretty legit.

 

[ZehDon]

What Ubisoft game released in April 2025?

Ubisoft apparently asked Valve to stop posting concurrent user numbers, as it damaged their ability to spin narratives about how popular their games are.

 

[Tunned]

Tempest Rising in Gold tier? F yeah! Deserved.

Have you tried reading the thread title and the OP? What does any of this have to do with this thread?

You actually play as the Ugly Bastard.
Know thy audience, I guess.

Hey, NTR games where you do the NTR is pretty fun.

I don't get why having sex games in the charts is controversial. You've got games like Doom and The Last of Us, which are quite gore-y. I can slice someone's throat and rip people in half with a chainsaw. Why are boobs and sex taboo?

Shiiiiiiiiit, I ain't judging. If anything I think Butt Knight needs to take up the entire chart.

Heaven't heard of Butt Knight before. Butt I am ready to Butt in now.

Edit: I have just read that it's not one-hand-playable. So it's useless garbage.

I actually did notice it in top sellers a few days back and was sort of tempted to gift troll one of my buddies with it.

 

[hemo memo]

Somehow Xpand Rally, released in August 2006 is still available to purchase

They could have just let the license expire and game delisted.

 

[Magic Carpet]

Glad to see Blue Prince on the list.
12 hours and I still don't have it figured out.

 

[ZehDon]

Have you tried reading the thread title and the OP? What does any of this have to do with this thread?

Have you? Ubisoft doesn't like Steam's charts and requested Valve stop producing them. Valve instead improves their charts. Ubisoft in shambles. If this isn't clear enough for you to better contextualise my comment, there's nothing more anyone might offer.

There was an unverified rumor - that has long since been dismissed as likely made up - that stated that Ubisoft wanted Valve to hide information about CCUs of games.

Aside from the fact that you're swallowing made up BS as fact, what has CCUs got to do with monthly revenue ranking charts for released games ?

Link here. Hilarious how gullible some of you are

 

[Mr Moose]

Was wondering what the Tokyo Ghoul game was but it's just Dead by Daylight shite.

 

[jshackles]

Ouch, South of Midnight not even making it to the Gold tier and being in the Silver tier mainly with DLC.

Compulsion better get their resumes drafted.

Yeah I noticed that it sold just about as well as the Missouri DLC for American Truck Simulator. Ouch.

 

[Diseased Yak]

Buying Butt Knight for some on my friend's list.

 

[Futaleufu]

Maybe games like this and Street Racing Syndicate have licenses on perpetuity, unlikely but otherwise doesnt make sense.

Yeah. That's 19 years, so if they are paying for the license, then honestly, big respect to them for keeping it that long.

Putting good gameplay in adult games so that they sell well, might eventually be the key for certain high profile AAA games to break the AO-rating barrier if they need to.

Probably the same reason why you can post videos of doom here but not porn, or on youtube or everywhere else. Because the average person would rather have those things in dedicated spaces. Not an issue on steam because there is a toggle.

To be fair, Pornhub's infrastructure is very likely far more sophisticated than Youtube's. Which sounds hilarious but, looking upon usage statistics, makes quite a lot of sense. Ironically, I have seen some normal-ass video game Let's Plays uploaded to Pornhub.

 

[calico]

Put them in order, cowards

 

[kruis]

Hmm.... when I see the word chart, I don't expect blocks of randomly sorted items.... This is useless.

 

[Avid Reading Horse]

Cool feature, not 100% clear if pre-order revenue gets rolled into it though.
