12,000+ indie games were released on Steam in 2022. If you prove that your game is hot, the algo starts putting you in prime spots like the Discovery Queue and More Like This. So how many games get this treatment every year? 550ish and it isnt growing. Let me explain 🧵

Thank you to The Freedom of Information Act, for having Activision provide pay bands for Raven Software when they were trying to bust Game Workers Alliance. We’ve done a lot of peer to peer reviews and are using this data to promote equitable compensation and transparency! 💙
