Valve says the data proves “Steam isn’t just a storefront—it provides social community, game discoverability, interactive events, and a deep set of game-enhancing features to attract and retain players who will be checking out new games in the future.”
I think it proves that Steam is the largest storefront on PC and that PC is growing and replacing other platforms.
I haven’t seen an interactive event on Steam for, like, a decade. Unless they’re counting sales as interactive events. 🤔
They used to have, like, gamified events where you’re earning things (like maybe trading cards or badges or other Steam profile items) by playing a small little browser game inside the store page. Those were always fun.
one example of a steam interactive event was when valve was actively giving viewers who were watching the game awards through steam a raffle to get a free steam deck

They kinda died along side the flash deals. I miss the crazy sales, but I understand why they removed them.
The Next Fests might count. They kind of fill the role that something like PAX does, encouraging you to try out demos.

No, that’s just a raffle. They had mini games during the sales.
PC is the fastest growing market. Consoles are slumping and I think the return of Steam Machines done right would accelerate the market shift.
