    Except that Steam allow their keys to be sold on other platforms and don’t take a cut on those. So it is 30% on the key sold on steam, but 0% on the other storefront.

    So there is no reason to not go on steam because it doesn’t restrict you to steam.

      You still need Steam on your computer to install it which means if your computer no longer supports Steam you are out of luck.

        If your computer doesn’t support Steam, there’s really no reason to install Steam, because better chance than not your computer doesn’t support almost any game you’d want to play on Steam.

          There are still plenty of stubborn people that cling to Windows 7, Steam dropped support a few months back when they upgraded the… Electron version, I believe? Had something to do with chrome/chromium removing win 7 support.

          Steam is 20 years old so we have now reached a point where people have retro gaming machines where parts of their libraries come from Steam.

        If your computer is incapable of even running Ubuntu. Then I don’t think it’s worth using.
