Alright. When you see them, please forward me all the articles clamoring for making Microsoft, Sony, Nintendo, or others to do so. Btw why exactly do I need to get approval from Steam to sell games on their store? Why can’t I sell World of Warcraft gold on eBay, and why does Epic have a monopoly on the marketplace for Fortnite?

Better yet, why do I need Wal-Mart’s approval to sell anything?

"Oh but nobody's talking about this other shitty thing so everything must be permitted" is...certainly a way to approach the world, but not one to which I subscribe. Nor should you.

And Steam doesn't, and in fact cannot, prevent you from installing GOG Galaxy or downloading games from itch.io. (And devices like the Steam Link will happily play games sourced from GOG Galaxy or itch.io through them!)

This is tiresome. I will not reply to you further.

Again, why do I have to follow their rules for their App Store?
