You are bringing in new users and locking them into Steam.
Steam only allows it because they want to be one centralized hub with more and more people locked in through social features, existing libraries, recommendation traffic, etc., but it is only allowed if it isn't price competition so that consumers can't feel the weight of the 30% directly.
- LegitShady 5y agono one is locked in anywhere. It's the developers choice to put in DRM or not. Steam by itself doesn't force it. No business plan makes sense if they give away their product for free without taking any form of revenue. Casting that as evil is odd and misleading. That they allow devs to generate codes that give steam no revenue at all is pretty incredible.
