    With Valve being the dominant one in the PC space

    This is a common misconception. Revenue on Steam is around 8.6 Billion out of 45 Billion. The actual heavy hitters (Minecraft, Roblox, Fortnite) aren’t even on Steam.

      Okay, but if you aren’t making a single multi-billion dollar game that doesn’t need a storefront because it functionally is one, then Steam is by far the biggest and most dominant player out there.
