the biggest reason for this is the big games that people spend money on today are free. the 30% platform fee doesn’t matter to fortnite, apex legends, overwatch, dota2/cs would be here if valve didn’t own it. the big cash making games have gone around the market place by being the marketplace themselve: gta online. and that trend will continue.
i bet without cs and dota steams revenue per user has been in decline over the past 5 years as money moves from paid libraries to paid addons in free games

- foolfoolz 4y agoif pc gta made any significant chunk of their revenue it would get its own standalone launcher and marketplace. they have thousands of developers
