Is that the one where Brian Herbert shits on his father's legacy? Oh wait, that's all of them.

Also, nothing stops developers from releasing on multiple marketplaces.

It's only lock-in for Valve games, any other developer is free to release anywhere they like, and Valve doesn't impose any exclusivity deal ala Epic (Alan Wake 2 anyone?).

Uh no, Steam is a distribution network charging a distribution fee. It's not preventing developers from using any alternative systems in any way.

Is Steam preventing gamers from using alternative marketplaces? No.
Is Steam restricting developers from releasing on alternative marketplaces through exclusivity deals? No.

Steam is not a monopolist, it's simply the gamer's favorite marketplace.

You don't know what you're talking about. The games are rendered locally.

Some older games still don't work well due to nobody putting a lot of effort in porting all the APIs and frameworks from the DirectX 9 era.
I can't run, for example, Syberia 1&2 and Myst 4&5 have issues too.

But yes, they're becoming the exception, not the rule.

You live somewhere in Eastern Europe (fine), think you build the most cars (you don't), make sweeping statements based on personal observation (not smart) and think EV vans are a niche thing in 2025 (your country is behind the curve).

The antisemitic Joy Division t-shirt blew my mind.
