I understand that the reviews and discoverability are legit problems for smaller developers trying to sell their games, but I have to wonder what percentage of people using Steam are simply "in and out" customers who are looking for the known titles anyways. Those people (like me) don't care so much about user reviews or discoverability.
I'm an "in and out" customer - I love games but I basically only buy big name titles (old behaviour from my console days). I know I'm missing out on some other great titles, but I only have a limited number of hours to put into games.
The only time I might get a lesser known game is when it got a lot of buzz outside of Steam, but the most likely scenario is via a heavily discounted bundle that contains a big name title that interested me.
Of the ~100 games in my Steam library, only about 20% are games I specifically wanted the buy. The rest were basically freebies that came along for the ride.
