Like, I am all for compensation, and endorsements, but Valve, of all monopolists? Could they not have used itch, humble bundle, heck, GameStop?
Ah, I guess folks haven’t caught up in news.
Is another way of saying, I’m not happy about and don’t think they should be implementing […]
Too subtle I guess.
Just because you’ve done something wrong doesn’t mean you should stop doing other things right.
Maybe this dev has released this title elsewhere as well. We don’t have/I haven’t looked for that additional context.
Valve/Steam doesn’t require exclusivity contracts afaik, so it’s not like this dev is locked in either way. It’s a popular platform with lots of users, it makes sense to want your game released there. Can’t really fault the dev for wanting to put their work in front of people.
Tell’em yourself to branch out. I don’t have fascist accounts.
