Ah, thanks. That was entirely unclear from this article.

Another game I simply won't need to buy. Neat. I guess some publishers just don't like selling games or something.

Perhaps that's because Steam doesn't seem to be trying very hard to "lock in" developers to their platform. Devs are free to sell their PC games on Gog or Epic or whatever. Steam is popular because it's a good platform. This freedom for developers or customers mostly does not exist on mobile or on consoles, except for the EUs efforts here.

Even their "console" the Steam Deck can, relatively easily, run games from other stores. I'm not saying a 30% cut should be considered fair but they do seem to take a different approach to digital sales than the other large players.

Judging from the video description this seems to be a remake of the original Frostpunk in Unreal Engine. Not sure why they’re doing it. The original is still just fine.

It appears one of them will be looking for a new job soon, so this is good timing.

I wonder if this lawsuit could also affect The Late Show with Stephen Colbert.
