Fuck the stupid morons who defend Apple.

Imagine if Microsoft banned Windows users from installing the software they want on their computer.

Imagine if Microsoft required all software developers to give them 30% of their earning or Microsoft will ban them from Windows

    Not really, they’re the villain for doing exclusives. Steam never did exclusives, at least not with 3rd party devs.

        Curation and encouraging PC ports when the store was relatively new != exclusives.

          Steam Greenlight was a program where independent games without a publisher could release games on Steam, but it was absolutely exclusive. They couldn’t sell their game elsewhere.

          Literally the first game released on the program was a free Total Conversion mod that you could download anywhere else for free, but if you wanted to get it installed through Steam, you paid them for the privilege.
