Virtually all of Steams growth in the last year or so has been from China. Even though it's not got a license to operate there. So if/when their government stop turning a blind eye to it they will suffer a massive drop in users.

This always happens. The first pre-release screenshots are the ones with the most views so tend to appear at the top of Google searches. Guaranteeing them to be used in most news stories for years to come. Which gives them more views. Which gives them a higher Google rank. Etc...

The margins on even the most successful mobile games are surprisingly small. Once you take into account the cost of running the servers, code maintenance, customer service, platform fees and advertising the roi will typically be less than 10%... if you're lucky.

Great list. I would also add... Unpacking. Very cool game about unpacking boxes and finding a place to put things in a new home.

Viewfinder. Cool Puzzle game about taking photos that change the world

Toem. Explore a quirky world and take photos for people.

Chicory. Solve puzzles by painting. Does however have some mildly challenging action sequences

Or alternatively Godot. IMHO it's a lot simpler to get basic stuff working. The editor can run on a much lower spec machine than unreal and GDscript is good stepping stone between scratch and languages like c#.

The original version is one of the best experiences I had on PSVR

Most of the successful games moved to Mobile. In particular Miniclip is almost exclusively a mobile games company now and still makes games like 8 ball pool

I would add that if you're using Windows then you don't need a 3rd party anti virus as long as you keep Windows up to date. Many commercial anti virus programs behave more like malware than the things they're meant to protect you from

The crazy thing is that it needs the clarification that it's from the onion
