This is a glimpse at our future under Techno-Feudalism, by the way. Five companies own all the entertainment and charge you extortionate rates to rent it. Please enjoy these last few years of Steam allowing indie games to be published with $20.00 or lower prices - once Gabe Newell goes away, inide devs are going to get “Spotified” out of existence by whatever venture capitalist buys up Steam.
Maybe I’m just silly, but I think having a mild churn of free or dirt-cheap indie games that are worth playing would probably be good for the platform as it keeps people using Steam and looking at the store page.
Well having a lot of smaller musicians be able to support themselves through their music would make the music industry healthier. That does not stop streaming services and concert vendors from extorting bands for every single penny.
