I don't know how you keep thinking I'm blaming Valve for anything when I've reiterated that I'm not multiple times.

I'm just using games on their store as an example of games you don't think of as exclusives or anti-consumer.

Your argument just makes no sense. Exclusive deals are extremely different from a game simply releasing on one store out of convenience.

I'm not arguing about the differences, just that they're the same in one aspect. You're saying one is bad because it is anti-consumer. I'm pointing out that the other is the same level of anti-consumer, and that you have just not noticed.

Deal or no deal is not relevant to the consumer.

I know they're not the same. But a game released on one store out of convenience is just as anti-consumer as an exclusive deal.
