How about you fuck off defending the mafioso vig that Apple, Google, and Valve have extorted from game developers for years, you monopoly bootlicker?

    Nobody is forced to use any of those platforms.

    You're the one licking the boot of developers who just want to profit off of your stupidity.

    FYI: Games like Ready or not have started the early access outside of Steam.
    So if you advertise your game properly, you can make it as well. Just need to work on your discoverability.
    But Steam makes it way easier.
    So either go with Steam, Epic, GOG, Itch.io or any other store.
    No need to fixate on only steam
