In 2023, around 64 percent of developers worldwide chose to publish their games on PCs. This comes as no surprise, as having an attractive platform for almost every developer makes PCs a number one choice for many developers. Indie games have been popular ever since the release of a cult classic, "Cave Story", this is reflected in the number of indie games released on the popular online PC gaming platform Steam overtaking those of AAA games by a formidable margin.
