Relying on luck isn't a great strategy, even if it sometimes works.

There’s no hidden gems in steam. Games sell as well as they should for their quality. There’s margin of error of course like a low quality game sells on the higher end due to good marketing or a high quality game sells low end due to poor marketing.

Most games are just not great
