Phc7006: but is generally considered to have grown faster than the market leader.
Is it though? Steam's concurrent user base has grown from 6 million end of 2012 to 8 million mid 2014 to 10 million concurrent users a month or so ago.
Granted, it's easier for GOG to multiply it's userbase, but apart from the spurt Witcher 3 has perhaps just given them is there any real indication GOG has been growing at a higher pace? (Not denying it's growing, clearly it is)
Trilarion: Do you have by any chance a source for the "Steam is biggest source of revenue for Witcher" claim? Maybe you are forgetting consoles or retail? It also may have changed with Witcher 3. My impression was that indeed many people buy Witcher 3 directly through GOG.com.
I'd really be interested in seeing those numbers but I doubt we'll get more than a general statement like 'We're excited to see xxxxxxx users are playing Witcher 3 through GOG/Galaxy!'. Particularly with how the only place to get Witcher 3 on Steam was to buy it on Steam I would imagine the numbers should be quite favorable for GOG, but then again, even if 60% of the revenue is from non-Steam sources, if 40% still is, is that really something you want to show to the public, given they're trying to compete.
