all the games it released in 2022 the median Revenue was amazingly 632 dollars but guess what there were very very thin thin sliver of games that made 300 000 of War much more and this is where you want to be we're gonna look at the games that made it in this thin sliver and why do I stop at 300 000 what's so magic about that well in my experience once you reach that level steam starts paying attention they put you in the discovery queue they put you in this giant Banner featured and recommended they give you those special offers that you can opt in to trust me you want to get into the 300 000 or more club and we're gonna look at it now the reason this is so magic even though the number of games have gone up this is the blue bars of the number of games released every year on Steam starting all the way back in 2016 all the way to 2023 well 2022. guess what the number of games that have

reached that magic 300 000 has actually stayed pretty steady they don't go much further than that I'm saying 550 570 somewhere about that game every year reach that magic 300 000 or more [Music] some Indies have done it 473 Indies did it in 2022 these guys made it and they're regular guys I've talked to these guys they're normal they're pretty normal guys it can be done I know it I believe in you but we're gonna look at it we're gonna figure out what it is so what I did was I looked at all the games that reach this level and I just looked at their steam pages I played some of them I made spreadsheets I love spreadsheets I highlighted them in special colors we're gonna go through this I'm not gonna go through every game but I'm gonna look through at the trends that I saw we're gonna look at what kind
