    I can always just not publish on Steam. There are other options.

    What’s happening here with RAM is a cartel

      The same way you can publish on a different platform that really few people know about, you can use a different architecture or different ram nobody knows about.

      I seriously don’t get this constant “Valve is a monopoly, end them” bull crap. Yes they’re a business. Yes they make money. Sure they’ve got flaws we should tackle. But they aren’t out there trying to shut itch.io down or using legislation to stop you from hosting the game yourself. GOG and Epic aren’t as popular because they don’t provide a strong enough product to pull people away.

          I literally said they have flaws. Calling them a monopoly is as pointless as your rebuttal and shows a complete lack of critical thinking. Call them out for the actual issues, not made up nonsense. Call them out for their inconsistent content moderation, call them out for their lootboxes, call them out for their caving to payment processors. Just don’t call them out for the thing they aren’t.
