    I don’t think I even have a game from the top 20 installed. They all keep shitting the bed.

      What’s considered top 20

        I’d assume AAA and top overall best sellers on Steam (with the exception of games like Fortnite and Minecraft).

        I do have Minecraft installed, but only modded versions (purchased original copy in 2013).

          I think in this case top 20 is just the top 20 best selling games, i.e. the newest ones. It does not imply AAA.

    I’m guessing that most music platforms get the majority of their sales from outside the top 20.

    Or are they talking about PC gaming versus console gaming? Actually, if you include mobile games, do the top 20 represent the majority of sales? Again, it feels like there’s a very significant long tail on mobile as well.
