12-Month Outlook: Disrupting Legacy Platforms

Steam today powers 147M monthly active users and nearly $10B in annual revenue. It proves the demand for digital gaming economies is massive — but Steam is still Web2: publishers win, players don’t.

the9bit is built as the evolution: Steam + Token = Web3.5. A hub where every top-up, every achievement, every asset trade fuels publisher revenue and returns rewards directly to the community.

Our First 12 Months Are About Building That Foundation:

✅ Establishing the9bit as the first Web3.5 hub — Steam’s scale, but with tokenized rewards that let gamers share in the upside. ✅ Creating sustainable revenue loops — top-ups, casual play, ads, and AAA sales that flow back into token liquidity. ✅ Expanding AAA IP + Spaces — from Capcom to Steam-level coverage, with Spaces becoming the backbone of community mining.

The Shift: Web2 → Web3.5

• Steam (Web2) = Distribution without ownership.

• the9bit (Web3.5) = Distribution + Ownership, where value creation is shared between publishers, creators, and gamers.

⚡ Steam has already shown the size of the opportunity. the9bit shows what it looks like when that scale finally belongs to the players too.
