In the beginning PB2 was known by game websites like Coolbuddy, Y8, but the internet environment has changed. Just putting the games on these game websites is not enough. Here are the reasons.
First, these game websites do not update the games in time. From my research, the majority versions in the game websites are still 1.0 and only Coolbuddy has the current version. So the game is less competitive and attractive in the game websites.
Second, the game websites are losing too much popularity. Take Coolbuddy as an example, it’s popularity is even less than pb in a research. One of the reasons is more and more players play mobile games and other new popular games. According to a stat:
‘Games are going more and more mobile
In the U.S. mobile penetration is 101%, meaning there is at least one phone for every American, partly due to the fact that many mobile phones are now more powerful than even the PCs we used in the 1980s and 1990s. A total of 48 million people play games on smart phones and tablets.’
Those factors caused the loss of the new players, what’s more, the old players retired. This issue exists for a long time and it has broken out in recent years. Eric should really put it on the table.
In my point, the better way is to put the game on both game websites and steam. Because steam has much more population, which is stable, and the age quite meets the Pb’s requirement. https://prnt.sc/fnhmwa
However, it can’t be denied that steam has some issues as well, but at least it's better than the game websites, which is loosing its popularity nowadays. I believe if Eric makes Pb2.5 better to compete the games on steam, the Pb2.5 will be brought to a new life.
What do U guys think? Do you have better places to put PB2.5 in?
