遊戲分析師 Daniel Ahmad 指出,中國玩家轉投 Steam 原因不外乎《DOTA 2》的人氣攀升,以及許多海外遊戲的在地化(還有獨立遊戲的崛起),更重要的是許多在中國被禁止引進的遊戲,在 Steam 上還玩得到。
Steam has more than 30m users in China.
It initially gained popularity due to DOTA 2, but has grown due to more localised games, regional pricing, local payment methods + wide variety of games banned/blocked in China.
