Because people who aren't idiots and don't support dumpy trumpy play better games than "call of duty 221395039845763: the undersea battle for 12 year olds".

because twitch/youtube memes sell those games and the majority of people that buy games off steam can't think for themselves.

Player Unknown Battleground
Rocket League
Black Desert Online
Citadel Forged with Fire
Dark and Light
Foxhole
Dream Daddy: Dating Sim
Car Mechanic Sim 2018
Civilization 6

Quite a few of those "top sellers" have mixed scores too, oddly enough

They tend to be easier to run so people with crappy computers buy them.

Bible Black was in the top 10 PC games on this site for a week. Same theory applies.

This.

Also, because they're early access and not full triple-A titles, they're usually significantly cheaper. So kids can buy them without having to beg their parents for it.

No... that happened because this site is so small in user base it just takes a small amount of people to start clicking on the specific forum and it will pop up to the top 10.

I think it's pretty mixed, honestly. Yeah, I'll see Undertale or something like that pushed on Steam half the time, but the other half, I'll see Total War or Call of Duty or something like that. Steam is pretty equal that way.

Why is there so much hype behind Player Unknown, I've seen plenty of gameplay vids, and it looks so mediocre.

FoTM battle royale walking/looting simulator that a lot of twitch streamers are playing.

PS4 = Japanese Trash
Xbone = Western Trash
Nintendo = Nintendo Trash

It's just the way things is.

Apparently they want to turn it into a esport and already planning to add microtransaction shit to it while its still in early access...

While it does seem like the most "decent" game of its kind out atm, i don't see it lasting too long, and the whole esport thing just seems like a huge fucking joke to milk people out of their money even further.

When the game is out of early access they're going to do paid for loot boxes. To test that system (it's a get free crate, buy key from steam system) they're doing a special box to fund a charity tournament next month.
