Valve going globally diverse with its development teams
It is great to see that Valve has so much diversity in its Top 20 list, especially when it comes to Indie games such as Warhammer Underworlds Online and Commandos 2. Half of the record is based in Asia, and unfortunately, there were only two games from developers based in the United States, which may also come as a surprise for other gaming enthusiasts.
It would be very interesting for players and fans all over the world to see what games are on next month's list since there will be a bunch of new games coming out this year, including Dragon Ball : Kakarot, Ori and the Will of the Wisps, Gods and Monsters, Final Fantasy VIII Remake, Watch Dogs Legion, Animal Crossing New Horizons, Vampire: The Masquerade, Persona 5 Royal and so much more to come.
