The most profitable games
The list of games generating the highest gross revenues on Steam has been organized along several categories, such as platinum, gold, silver and bronze – pretty straightforward. The order doesn't matter here (we don't know which of the listed games performed best). This year in the most elite, platinum collection, we have both new titles as well as games that were released some time ago.
