I can't buy Half Life on anything other than Steam. Are you going to bash Steam for limiting customer choice because they only release titles they own on their own platform? Overwatch, WoW, and Diablo are Battle.net exclusives. Are you going to bash Blizzard? So is this really about consumer choice or just your preference for Steam?
I never said Valve was perfect either, but they have never reached out to purposefully cancel or limit consumers choice that existed before. They have never bribed a vendor tonöimit them to just their store. Titles on Steam are frequently availablenin many alternate stores.
Would it be nice if every store had the option of carrying every title? Certainly! I would LOVE this, but in the end Steam is the lesser evil here.
