This has nothing to do with Steam. There's a lot of games out there and people don't need to buy them immediately at full price. Few people are starved for games.
Why are steam drones like this

Why do these retards think Steam owes them sales?
Matthew Johnson
setup your website with payment protocols to sell your game then, Rimworld did it for some time berore going to steam

>Developer's choice
If EGS retards actually cared about developers or the industry, this is the storefront they'd be pushing for
Landon Williams
nooooo why can't i just saturate the market with indistinguishable shit and get rich anyway

No one is obligated to buy games. Not everyone has money to throw around to support devs just because they also need money to live.
If your game needs a huge surge in player base due to a global pandemic just to break less than even on Steam, its probably not a game you should rely on for your livelihood.
Steam has loads of shovelware, but I have gone through literal thousands of games on my discovery queue and I have never once found a diamond in the proverbial rough. If its a good game, it usually floats to the top pretty quickly.
You are never going to find a god tier game buried beneath the Hentai Weed Puzzles and Paradox game clones.

Standard for console market where they own the platform, steam doesn't do much yet expect the same rate
Parker Green
okay and how much money did they make from selling their game on non steam platforms?
Jonathan Sanders
why do retards think that making game = mass success? theres thousands games come out on steam, unless your game is super amazing, you might not get a single penny, and thats how shit goes. it doesn't help that these people almost never market ever.
