Some people like to get paid for their work.
By allowing a monopolist to ripped you off?
By putting your game where most people see it.
If the dev thought it was a rip-off, no one forces them to be on it.
Also, I’m not watching 15min Youtube videos with clickbait titles.
If you have a point to make, make it yourself.
I did in my first reply. You pick monopolies, you lose your game.
Steam is bad for developers and publishers, but it’s good for each individual developer and publisher. If the game didn’t release on Steam, it would have fewer sales. Someone with more power or a coordinate boycott could encourage change, but right now asking a developer to stand up for themselves is asking them to be mowed down.
Refresh 🧵. Made another key argument.
