I think steam killed video games.
It created and pushed the whole concept of pre-alpha.. and super low quality meme games.
It flooded the market with thousands and thousands of games.
It got consumers used to prices that are not sustainable for studios to maintain creative environments.
It made valve almost a 100 billion dollars, and they basically quit making games and just give each other reach arounds all day.
I hate steam. I hate what it did to gaming.
Don't get me started on twitch and streaming: Narrative games are d.e.a.d.
