Way more than 80 games are being released. It not 2 decades ago anymore where a decent indie title was enough to get you noticed.
Biggest challenge now isn't even the 30% cut but just people even knowing your game exists with the massively low barrier to games now. You aren't just competing against triple a titles, but every other aspiring indie dev hoping to make the next Balatro.
Its a plus now if your games get pirated, since that means among the thousands of gamss released per month you have a chance to actually have people know your game exists.
all the actual good games on steam seem to do fine
i want anyone saying their game isn’t getting a fair shake on steam to post it
if it’s actually not trash i’ll buy it
