No they don’t care about the service, we should be able to play games without steam client, we should be able to resell digital games, developers should not had to pay $100 non refundable fees to upload one game each time, etc.
Steam cares about money, it’s just that simple.
They're a business, not a charity. OF COURSE they care about money. What's nice is that they do it ethically and in a consumer-friendly way.
Are you able to resell digital games on Nintendos platforms? What about playstation or xbox? Wow, no you say?
Neither in steam, the keysellers are scams and the developers can scam you with the key. You don’t own the game, Nintendo lets you own games in physical format and has never let publishers remove them.
