Well because uhmm. Gamers just use it ironically you know. Free speech. Elon Musk help me, they want to persecute gamers. Gamers.

    There is no reason a PC game has to use Steam. To reach a console audience you have no choice but to give that 30 percent to PS or Xbox.

    Steam has features that does not help a specific game that players like to use, like game streaming, library sharing, remote play together. Which is why a player might prefer Steam to Origin let's say

        There is no reason to exclusively be on Steam. But yeah a game not launching on Steam probably won't get popular unless has a giant company like Activision or Riot behind it.

        Epic has spent many millions of exclusives but even after 2 years does not have some of the features Steam has so I'll only use it if they literally give me a game for free (which happens often)

        If possible I get games on Itch.io or GOG for DRM free copies
