From the POV of steam, you want the big releases to happen on your platform and take your cut even if its a bit smaller. In the end people change platforms for the big releases. Its the main reason I haven't fully switched to GOG yet, it doesn't have the major releases I want (or gets them late like Kingdom Come Deliverance 2).

You can spread idealism, but I rather stay realistic.

Yeah, but I'm not in the POV of Steam.

I'm in my POV.

You can't simultaneously go "it is what it is" when Valve gives big games a better deal to secure their position and be mad that Epic gives games exclusivity deals. It just doesn't follow. Realistically.
