>That's an impressive graph. It's clear that Steam is a powerful force in the gaming industry and it looks like it will continue to grow at an exponential rate. I'm definitely interested in investing in companies that are associated with Steam, as they are sure to benefit from its continued success. Thanks for sharing!

I build PC’s for a hobby and thought it was something worth sharing! It’s one of the most vital ecosystems in the computer world

To explain what I mean: from a hardware perspective, every single user on this list has at least one CPU (intl or amd) and most everyone has at least one GPU (amd or nvda). From a software perspective, the most common OS to run games is a variant of windows (msft) and the game devs themselves are a huge list of companies. Even Xbox (msft) and Sony (sony) are starting to release their exclusive games to steam to increase market share and, therefore, create syndication.

PC gaming is also becoming more affordable and accessible relative to console sales. Although a series X is possible to acquire, it’s harder (at least in my area at this time) to acquire a PS5 than it is a 4090 gpu (despite price differences).
