That is a separate and valid issue Steam needs to be called out on, yes.

Like taking a massive cut because they have network effect to their advantage isn't. I'm mocking them because they mock people pointing out issues with the platform doing shitty stuff for money without anything in this thread prompting them to do that.

Well, the closest they have to a decent competitor is GOG. Epic is only good for free games (and supports AI slop).

I don't understand why you are bringing other platforms up. This isn't sport. Just because I'm calling out valve doesn't mean I side with other platforms (teams) and think that they are better and need to win...

I was bringing them out from a developer choice standpoint and acknowledged that it was a bad angle for this later.
