From the opinion piece:

Last year, I pointed out how many big publishers came crawlin' back to Steam after trying their own things: EA, Activision, Microsoft. This year, for the first time ever, two Blizzard games released on Steam: Overwatch and Diablo 4.

We did it boiz.

Pat yourselves on the back if you never used an alternative.

This is a weird mentality. Competition in the space is good, even if the current "default" thing is really good.

Competition is good....when the competition is actually competitive.

But what has happened is games on are steam .... which installs the launcher + game.

So it's not a win at all. It's actually a loss for us. If steam was to force "yeah you can publish the game on steam, but you cannot use your launcher"
