Note that this is based on analyzing only the top 20% of games -- I removed the bottom 80%, as that 80% are barely making any money at all. If I had included all games released on Steam, these numbers would have been waaay more terrifying

The main takeaway for me, personally, is that developers are still pricing their games waaaay too low! The average $15 game currently makes $35,000 in year one The average $25 game makes $200,000 in year one!pic.twitter.com/ybj9criwod

One final note: If you see a developer taking an Epic Exclusive deal, leave them the *fuck* alone. Look at the sales numbers above, then genuinely tell me you wouldn't take a deal over running this gauntlet. Taking an Epic deal secures your future, so get off your high horses!

For comparison, how much was it before the 'indiepocalypse'?

I've been told on a yearly basis since 2014 that the indiepocalypse is here, so I can't really give you a simple answer to that haha

Interesting read, thank you! Do you know how many games fell into the valid range last year? I'd be curious if some part of it was caused by dilution of sales across more titles.

I could go dig out my numbers and find this out, might see if I can find a mo to do that a bit later actually
