Yeah you're quoting steam numbers. Steam might have grown 4x in the last decade, not PC gaming.
And who's buying physical copies these days? It was a very different story in 2010-2015.
It's only natural that a digital game distribution platform like Steam's user base grew (of course Steam's quality also helped).

Talking numbers...
2015 -> 1.9bil mobile vs 1.1bil pc gamers.
2025 -> 3.2 bil mobile vs 1.8 bil pc gamers.
For every 1 new pc gamer in the past decade, there were 2 new mobile gamers.

Also, most mobile gamers don't play on PC, while a lot of PC gamers do.
That tells you all you need know to realize that mobile will stay ahead, despite being more saturated.

Pc gamers are perhaps not dying out as I joked, but my main point stands, phones dominate :)
steam *IS* PC gaming, its so dominant it makes up almost the entire market. you're saying steam 4x-ing in a decade doesn't mean PC gaming is growing? did some other platform lose millions and millions of users to offset this massive growth?

i dont know why you're bringing up physical copies, how gamers acquire the games is irrelevant to the question "is PC gaming dying?"

re-read that and peep that 4x... Steam doing 4x does not mean pc gaming did 4x is what I said. I didn't say that pc gaming didn't grow.
I literally provided numbers that say that pc gaming grew, but not 4x. what are you trying to do here lmao :KEK:

(obviously I mentioned physical copies due to it relating to steam being a digital distribution platform)

I don't know why you're hanging on the 'pc gaming dying' point, when it was a joke and I reiterated that in my reply.
Again, my point was that phones are dominating :)

This is why optimizing for low-spec devices is key :D Most of today's 'gamers' are on phones.
Us PC people are dying out.
Those left hand phone users, because their right hand is busy. :ROFLMAO: I think it's also the fact that phones are generally more private, so while they may have access to a PC, they may not have privacy to play an AVN.
Anyway as some have said, it's never a bad idea to expand your potential customer base.
I'm looking forward to chapter 6 BananaCreamGames, I hope it's looking good and that there's plenty of Suzi goodness. :love:
