    Great job, missing my point entirely.

    Steam created an ecosystem for these asset flips for their own gain, at the expense of the customers and legitimate Devs.

      I didn’t ignore it, you just didn’t think it through.

      You’re complaining about having more options as if it’s some kind of moral stand. But the only reason to be mad about those things is if you were forced to buy them. Steam doesn’t only have to sell games that you specifically approve of and it’s not some kind of moral failing to sell games that are low quality.

      This isn’t even getting into how you’re ignoring history to make the claim that they did it all for their bottom line and not the huge amount of user demand for them to open up the store. This also isn’t getting into how any money coming in from asset flips specifically is negligible, and not at all like some kind of NFT scam level of dubious behaviour like you’re referring to it.

      The only reason to be this mad about more games being sold on Steam is if you feel a need to buy it all.
