Not entirely sure if I understand the question, but the reason the number of "counted" games is on a constant decrease is because a game will never (to my knowledge) go from a +0 to a +1, while many games do go from +1 to +0.
When a game is added to Steam, it typically always count as a +1 unless it's a free game. So all that's left are games that are +1, but get removed or go F2P, resulting in them no longer counting towards your XP/profile numbers.

i dont get you. he just talked about the trash game doctorofjournalism posted. you cant deny, that the developer of this game just want to make profit with low effort.

ok, i´m sorry. as a beginner it might even took you quite some time to programm this game so you probably wanted to show it to everybody?

You did more than that game? because it looks totally amateur. Like something a 10 years old will do following a Youtube tutorial

That's actually the very same game justseedy's got a Dev tag for.

stupid question: is there a way to see, what game somebody has created / got the tag for?

Frankly, I don't know for sure, but that's unlikely.

No, this info is not available. We only confirm if person who has the tag really released the game or is in the development team.
For some reason it's also not possible to click on the user and see all games where they contributed. Even if someone would only want to make it as an optional choice to show it on profile. You can check which games were published by publisher, but it doesn't work for individual users.

when you bring out your game and it goes to no1 in every chart then you can say something

I don't have 8 years and a big budget for a full-time team of thinkers, so I'm not sure if I'm allowed to have an opinion on that. I'll have to ask a chef.

It has to do with what Tcharr said, which is why I replied to him.
I'm confused why you would take issue with my comment. You campaigned hard to get the Game Developer tag here on SG, but you don't want people to actually see the game you made?

True, but that implies buying very early release of indie games, which... let's be honest, doesn't happen very often for most of us. :P

https://store.steampowered.com/app/1449280/Ghostbusters_The_Video_Game_Remastered/ recently got its +1...

Games can go from +0 to +1, NAIRI: Tower of Shirin is an example

ok, for my understanding, nowadays when someone realice a game on steam, the plataform has a system that tags this game with a legend something like this: "Steam is learning about this game"
With this Tag, the game dosnt count +1 for library count (but if you buy/get the game its on your library), until the game gets some good reviews and WL from users, etc. I dont know exactly what steam ask for to leave the Tag behind
when the game "pass" that steam´s check or whatever, the game count +1 for all the owners
Something that I cant understand Is what the profit that devs do nowadays? becouse, at some point Steam loose the contrrol of greenlight, games come out every single day and in a few weeks they have cards (that can be sold on steam market), where the dev really profit money from.
but nowadays It dosnt happends anymore, I have games from 2018 that dosnt count +1, they are totally trash games, and they are just there, but the devs dosnt win money with them even if the give free key in everysingle site on the internet
EDIT: my english is basic, so, sorry for that, hope yo understand what i try to say

Just because a game sucks and doesn't have cards doesn't mean it didn't make money
If you had no development cost, then your only cost to hit market is the submission fee of $100. Once you sell ~$142.85 worth of your game you'll have broken even on the platform (steam takes 30%, you get 70%). If you hit $1000 your submission fee gets returned and it's all pure profit
Add on top stuff like bundle listings, reselling assets, reselling the game as a template, etc. and there's plenty of ways to stay in business if that's your only concern
Granted the margin on this is still awful, but if you're from a country with low cost of living it can be an effective source of income

didnt know that, I always beleive that they do those games because of the trading cards, and that was why they giveaway so many keys as possible, because the game itself didnt matter, but the sellings card do.
I dont know about the market, or anything really about programers/devs/ etc.
thanks for the info

In the past years they removed the ability for no-name games to add cards, so most never can (like you said: nowadays)
Now it's more store sales, key sales, rarely ingame items.
A few games exist to launder money, like weird $200 products.

yeahhh. im part of a group of collectors, and a few times someone random add me to "offer" some baned game for 2 or 10 dollars, this are really creap on my store, and its imposible to know when they are gonna be baned, on of my ideas Is that the ask for every key Valve gives them, because they make more Profit "outside Valve" for a trash game, than in store itself

How it works? For almost a year I see only decresing number of games on my profile.Difference between all games and showing on profile is almost 3000 games without +1 to library. When they got +1? I understand removed there are games, but are there any games that got +1?
