3 percent of 10,696 would be 320.88

if each game was created for 8 months, then 320.88 games were created for 2567.04 months, which is equal to 213.92 years.

Equations don't predict when the next game will come out.

How did you arrive to 320.88 created for 2567.04 months? My answer tells me this number of games was developed in 12 months.

R = 8 months / (game * development)
G = 321 games (3% of 10,696)
N = Number games / development
You've given us no way to eliminate time.

8/12*10696*0.03 = 213.92 games.

To explain, 0.03*10696 Valve games were released in 2021. So a game is released every 365/(0.03*10696) days on average. This means a game starts development every 365/(0.03*10696) days on average. So over an 8 month period, which is 8/12*365 days long, an average of 8/12*365/(365/(0.03*10696)) games start development, which is the average number of games in development at any moment in time.

Actually to be more accurate it should be 8/12*365.25/(365/(0.03*10696)) ~ 214 games

Just want to say that proposing that valve makes even 3% of all games on steam is an outrageous assumption.
95% of games are just indies or shovelware.

the distribution of game development times would need to be assumed or defined to solve for this, not just the average
