Steam's new "golden age" is special because so many genres are popping off at once, indie expert says: "It's almost like the player base was drinking and their inhibitions lowered"
Indie game advisor Chris Zukowski believes Steam is experiencing a "golden age" due to a simultaneous boom across multiple genres, including idle games, friendslop, horror, and Survivors-likes. This trend reduces the barrier to entry for developers and caters to PC gamers' appetite for new experiences, contrasting with the stricter console market. Zukowski emphasizes that while not a "gold rush," specific genres offer opportunities for developers willing to target them.
