    It’s more nuanced than that.

    It’s not, though. If people actually want to play your game, then Steam isn’t going to get in the way.

    Look at MMOs. Look at fortnite. Minecraft. Roblox. Those games can succeed without Steam because people want to play them.

    If a game can’t succeed without being on Steam, then Steam isn’t the problem.

    Why are we defending a system where the fucking checkout system is valued as much as the people making the games?

    You’re asking the wrong question here. You should be asking why you’re defending the developers who just want to make more money and don’t care about how it may impact the experience for their customers.

    Gabe isn’t your friend and neither are the whiny/greedy developers.
