    People seem to forget that nearly all games that released 2024 were a total shitshow.

      If we look at a percentage overall sure but thats been the case for years owing to the rise of mobile and shovelware in general.

      2024 had some absolute bops, offhand there was Wukong, Balatro, Metaphor, Helldivers 2, Warhammer, Erdtree, and thats without diving deeper into the indie stuff.

      The stat being presented is a bit limited, as we’re seeing PC gaming rise further, and software downloads move more then physical.

        Well, yes. Regular John just gets the game digitally for his SteamDeck or PS5 because it’s more convenient, while nerd Nelson wants the physical PS5 copy, or gets it from steam for his gaming PC. And to be honest, finding physical games in this day and age has become hard.
