This data will probably only lead to more live service games. :|
Interesting data but how does it compare to past years?
Okay, I was really irritated there at first, reading the headline as “60% of games are for six-year-olds and older” and I went “yeah, no shit, Sherlock”… Glad it was my fault.

Remember, it’s not just good enough that the line goes up. The line must also go up at a faster rate than previous months at all times or you’re a failure.
39% was Baldur’s Gate 3.
I haven’t bought a game in years.
I pretty much just emulate these days. There are tons of great games on consoles that still hold up to this day.
