74% of all the video games and computer sales were sold in digital format form.
That's just one source. You'll find similar numbers confirmed elsewhere.
PC gamers overwhelmingly buy digital, either from Steam or other digital storefronts like GOG, Greenman Gaming, Epic Games Store, Origin etc.
"29% of Steam sales revenue was attributed to Western Europe according to Valve. (GeekWire, 2018)"

Don't be so presumptuous, it's arrogant.
And you are cherry-picking stats by stating only sales on Steam. Steam is not the only digital delivery platform on PC. There are many.
