      In 2018, 80% of our revenue from sales came from Steam. 7% came from @itchio, 5.5% came from humble, and 7.5% came from @chronodeals. Excluding Chrono, 86% of our sales revenue came from Steam. A 30% reduction in Steam revenue is a 25% reduction in overall revenue.

      The vast majority of devs can't have their revenue cut by a quarter, third, half, or even two thirds overnight and survive for very long. Margins in this business are already marginal, and survival is already an extremely difficult task.

      My prediction is that a lot of indie devs, some of which might be favorites of those reading this, are hanging on hoping for a turn-around before the summer sales, or for Epic to open up their store to them. I expect a lot will start going out of business starting July.

      This trend is extremely concerning, because of the economic fallout for many indies in our industry, lost revenue from supporting service providers, but also because it shows how fragile our existence is and how much we're at the mercy of Valve's capricious whims.

      I've been ringing the alarm bell since December. Other devs who've been talking about this are @glassbottommeg, @GreyAlien, and to some extent @unormal. If you're press, and you want to talk to me about it, please email me at eniko@kitsunegames.com or DM me, my DM's are open.

      Please keep in mind as you read this that most devs will NOT talk about their financial difficulties in public, believing it makes them look weak, hurts business opportunities, and reduces sales. They may not be wrong about that, but this is important, and so I'll take that hit.

      PS: I tweeted so fast by using the little + button when you compose a tweet that lets you compose a tweet thread all in one go, at least on the web. I dunno if mobile clients have it. Now you know.

      I guess this solidly debunks my "250 reviews is the new 50 reviews" theoryhttps://twitter.com/GreyAlien/status/1108817662153551872 …

      I have more than 250 reviews on a game that saw the biggest drop.

      Post-disclaimers: People will say "those games are bad", but these games were fine one day and not the next, so that's nonsense. Others will say that revenue was going down anyway, and it has been ever since Greenlight/Direct, but it collapsed overnight, so this wasn't organic.

      I know games that sold millions of dollars worth of copies and were hurt. We personally took a 70% drop in sales and we sold over 80K copies, having over 950 reviews. We had to cut down some of our budget for the next project due to reduced cash flow.

      WOW! I thought only small indies like me and others were affected. Lol you have more reviews for 1 game than almost all my games put together! Crazy that you were affected too...

          Oh yeah, I know even larger ones that were affected. Though our 70% drop is one of the larger drops out there. We're lucky we had two fruitful years before the drop so while it hurt our future plans badly, it didn't drive us under.

          If this had happened a year ago we'd be out of business now

          To add to it, we were one of the official Valve's "Top games of 2018 so far" that were published around summer, and then "Top early access graduates" in the final report (though silver, the lowest, but still...) https://store.steampowered.com/sale/2018_top_ea_grads/ …
