I don’t care about the Steam tax. Steam is one of the few storefronts that actually show me what I want. That give me the ability to download any game I downloaded 20 years ago when I first installed it. They went through a few dozen iterations of nonsense social stuff, but through that all the core functionality just kept working.

I hate the iOS store because it’s full of ad-riddled slop. Steam isn’t remotely close to that. If I find a game on there, even if it’s bad, someone clearly spent time and love making it.





Steam definitely has a ton of garbage, half-assed, slop games on it. They definitely were not made with time and love.

And these games are usually review bombed to hell so that consumers can inform other people to stay away. It is an open marketplace
