Valve posted Steam Year In Review 2025 for developers. One stat jumped out:
Steam delivered about 100 exabytes of data in 2025, and installs and updates average about 274 petabytes per day.
What is the biggest improvement you actually felt using Steam lately, and what is one thing you still want Valve to fix next?

That’s insane, sometimes I just install games only to stare at it!
I’m new to steam and granted my pc is on a direct connection to my modem compared to my consoles on WiFi but holy crap how fast it downloads and installs a game is like wizardry.
Sorry guys, I hopped Linux distros a LOT this past year and re-downloaded my games a lot. My bad.
So like 3 people downloaded Ark Ascended with all DLCs?
I wonder what valves electricity bill is like
why not incentivise players to share their games in a steam p2p network instead? all the hosting costs could rather benefit players than big datacenters
I wonder how the other services like Epic compare. I’m sure all that data hosting and transferring isn’t cheap which might play a part in their margin for game sales.
I reinstalled bazzite 5times this week and downloaded a shit load cuz i couldnt fix a problem. I may be the problem
