Is there less people gaming on PC, than let’s say 20 years ago, or just the market became larger, and new people started to play with something else?

- ruszki 1y agoThese are still percentages. I asked for absolute values. If 100 million people played on PC in 2005, and now 100 million plays on PC, but 2 billion on mobile, then percentages changes, but you still have the same amount of people playing PC. Btw, “playing” is a very convoluted expression, because almost everybody played snake on their phone even 20 years ago. This is why the only indicator which matters is absolute values.
