Oddly enough, Turbine analytics suggest that Steam releases are generally less successful. During the last couple of years a lot of small teams shifted from Mobile to Steam, hoping to cash-out, but it cause a significant increase in total released games numbers (12K 2022, 14K '23, and 19K in 2024).

But it's also worth mentioning that the majority of Steam games have cheaper marketing and overall costs per project, which means, even $250K IMO should be considered a success for the majority of them.

In general, I'd say that these markets can't and shouldn't be compared so directly without proper context and adjustments between costs, terms, and then profits.

GPU manufacturers are asking reviewers to avoid comparison between RTX 50 and 40.

The representative said that RTX 40 is anyway no longer produced (referring to the end of life, which is a completely different term when the card will not get new drivers ages later). And openly pushed the reviewer to agree on making a misleading review to get a sample card.
