Steam in this year 2017 has added more games to its catalog than in the period from 2006 to 2014 and the figure is about to exceed the platform's record, which was registered last year.

The most important gaming platform on the market is Steam, developed by Valve, which over time has become the most important on the market and has remained as a reference. There are hundreds of games that can be found on the platform and hundreds of titles enter each year and all thanks to the entry of a large number of games, especially indie games. Steam could set a new record, making this year 2017, which already has very little left, to exceed the figure of 5000 titles added to the platform in just one year.

Allowing a bit of indiscriminate entry, especially indie titles, has allowed the platform's catalog to grow a lot. The analyst Daniel Ahmad, from the Niko Partners company, not only highlights the increase in available titles, but has also commented that in this year 2017 more titles have been launched than between 2006 and 2014, which is a real nonsense.

As we have mentioned, this important growth of games has been mainly thanks to Steam Greenlight, a way that has created [amazon_textlink asin = 'B016KBVBCS' text = 'Valve' template = 'ProductLink' store = 'hardwa028-21 ′ marketplace = 'ES' link_id = '2a2a3fb3-974c-11e7-9350-6f6b09f6b452 ′] to allow the massive entry of independent titles, whose only way to be known by many people is to enter this platform. This model was implemented in 2012, which has allowed the brutal growth of the Steam catalog. To give us an idea, in 2016 40% of the Steam catalog was introduced to date. Greenlight has now been replaced by Steam Direct, a much simpler system, which allows more input of games, something that undoubtedly benefits the company, which gets more revenue and players.
