    I can’t say I’m thrilled they’re exploring

    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.
