Why It's Important?
The addition of new free games to Steam's library underscores the platform's commitment to providing diverse gaming experiences
to its users. By offering a wide range of genres, Steam caters to various gaming preferences, potentially attracting new users and retaining existing ones. This strategy not only enhances user engagement but also supports indie developers by giving their games a platform for exposure. The availability of free games can also encourage more frequent use of the platform, increasing the likelihood of users purchasing other games or in-game content.
