    Wild that the video game industry is so big, and this still isn’t even 1% of people on earth.

      Also keep in mind this is peak concurrent players. I imagine the MAU is much higher, since most of the world doesn’t game at the same time.

      This is just steam. It’s estimated that about 3 billion people regularly play video games.

      Sure, but 38,000,000 x $60 = $2,280,000,000. And that’s if they all spend only $60/year, and only on Steam, and the average I’m sure is much higher.

        It’s not counting yearly users either, it’s concurrent players

          Yeah. That was just an example. If ~35 million users bought one game a year, you get that number. Of course the actual number is much larger.
