Summary
A hide-and-seek game where you paint yourself to blend into the map, made by two people in two months, just made $60 million. That’s the winner of this quarter’s Steam Scanner โ and it’s the one idea on the list mobile genuinely can’t clone.
The closing caveat matters: it’s survivorship bias โ 20K+ games hit Steam a year โ and Steam’s discovery means a Mecha Chameleon never gets brute-forced by three Voodoo clones in a month. That’s the whole difference between the two platforms.
