If we try to exclude the super simple and cheap games by only looking at games priced at more than $5, the median is closer to $4000
just because a game is more than $5, doesn't mean it's not super simple, cheap shovelware.
22 0 ReplyNobody is claiming that, the claim is merely that a lot of the games under $5 are shovelware. I'm sure you could take it a step further and try to remove shovelware, but that's gets really subjective really fast.

Honestly, that's okay. As long as indie devs have a place where they can sell and market their games fairly.
