In our Top Selling article, we check out all of the titles that brought a lot of revenue to Steam to see what&#8217;s hot in the industry and performing well.<\/p>\n<p>With these articles, we like to keep everything as an honest reflection to the videogame industry. To this end, we&#8217;re not removing content we personally disagree with, but instead, picking the top indiscriminately. This means that titles with AI generation will be part of the mix, but to keep our readers informed, we&#8217;re adding an extra bullet point for the disclosure.<\/p>\n<p>Counter-Strike
