    It would be weird if it didn’t follow a power law distribution.

    Aka the Pareto Principle. Aka “80% of everything is shit”.

      Aka “80% of everything is shit”.

      That’s Sturgeon’s law (originally 90%). If you want to condense Pareto, it’s “80% of value is created in 20% of the time”.

        Thanks, I knew I was forgetting yet another name for it. Lots of names for the same, very common underlying phenomenon. As it applies to this case, Pareto would be “80% of the value earned by 20% of the games”. But point being: it would be weird if that wasn’t the distribution we saw.
