They’re not gonna DRM the compressor, are they?

Please don’t give them ideas.

I’ve gone back and forth, but I agree. People just need to stop assuming that a game being on Steam is an endorsement. It’s just a platform. They’ve removed almost all barrier for entry to enable truly indie developers to have their game on the premier PC game store. I’m sure indies prefer paying $100 and doing whatever they can to gain social traction compared to begging the gatekeepers at major publishers to give them a chance, though I could be wrong.
