Originally I was planing to do 2 separate threads, but judging by my previous steam sales thread people not really interested in such info, so i decided to merge both monthly and year reports in one thread. I know numbers are boring for most people and there is small group of people who actually interested in all those sales data, but i'll continue to do those threads because it's worth it even for such minor audience (including myself). I've tried to add some new stuff to report, so if you'll have any feedback and suggestions, feel free to post them here.645 new games and software titles (excluding free apps) were released on Steam platform in December 2017. Out of those, 300 apps currently don't have enough owners to show any data about how they've preformed during the month.Out of all new December games, 4 titles were released with 60$+ price tag (last detected price in US region, prices in different regions may vary) - Ashes Cricket (Big Ant Studios), Fallout 4 VR (Bethesda Softworks), Igo Meijin (UNBALANCE Corporation) and Tokyo Xanadu eX+ (Aksys Games). 1 software application was released with 60$+ price tag. Overall, 62 new games and software were released with 20$+ price tag.Early December GOG declined to sell new game from Zachtronics (developers of Spacechem, Infinifactory, TIS-100, and Shenzhen I/O) - Opus Magnum. Thread about this controversy can be found here - https://www.resetera.com/threads/go...it-looking-too-much-like-a-mobile-game.10242/ Despite not charting in December 2017 top 10 games, Opus Magnum sold very well and currently have 57,216 ±7,284 owners on Steam alone.PLAYERUNKNOWN'S BATTLEGROUNDS (previously in Early Access) - 26,370,071 ±152,151 ownersGang Beasts (previously in Early Access) - 1,015,334 ±30,656Getting Over It with Bennett Foddy - 394,933 ±19,131IL-2 Sturmovik: Cliffs of Dover Blitz Edition - 223,529 ±14,395Gift to Humanity - 70,065 ±8,060Ylands - 81,702 ±8,704SpellForce 3 - 78,793 ±8,548Opus Magnum - 57,216 ±7,284Fallout 4 VR - 68,853 ±7,990They Are Billions - 199,042 ±13,584OKAMI HD - 86,308 ±8,946Finding Paradise - 51,397 ±6,904Bridge Constructor Portal - 58,670 ±7,376Faerie Solitaire Remastered - 82,914 ±8,768Seven: The Days Long Gone - 10,425 ±3,109Empires of the Undergrowth - 20,607 ±4,371Crimson Imprint plus -Nonexistent Christmas- - 19,880 ±4,293Polyball - 12,364 ±3,386Reigns: Her Majesty - 23,274 ±4,646deep space waifu: FLAT JUSTICE VERSION - 17,456 ±4,023Formata - 14,304 ±3,642Hello Neighbor - 48,973 ±6,739I Can't Believe It's Not Gambling - 13,092 ±3,484Zup! 7 - 12,364 ±3,386Gorogoa - 37,820 ±5,922L.A.
