Although I agree that steam has done a lot for indies, the issue remains, no matter how many stans downvote me.

But then perhaps you could articulate what the exact issue is? Like, what ill effects is Steam being a very major player having on the gaming industry as a whole?

I don't understand, how is Steam good for Indies but bad for studios?
