it might be hyperbole, a little bit, but it's certainly better than being mad at everything.

I like Steam as much as the next guy but lets not pretend the guy that owns 6 yachts is a good person just because heโ€™s better than the next worst.

i mean, what else are you supposed to do with that much money? I would probably do something much sillier with it.

Steam DRMs the shit out of games sold on their platform and if youโ€™re an indie dev that wants to sell your game Steam is THE place to do it.

and yet, you can just, release a non DRM version of the game also, I.E. factorio, mindustry, etc. It's really not that difficult, steam just has great reach.
