Comment on Why doesn't Steam support Android?

  Google has made quite some effort making android a mess for anything but themselves. If I were steam I would not want to maintain a store on there

    Seems to work just fine for me and all of my 3rd party apps and stores 🤷

      Android is probably the least consistent os out there

        It’s called diversity. It has its drawbacks but for the most part it works just fine. That’s why it’s the most popular mobile OS in the world.

  Yes, I imagine you don’t. Which is probably why you asked the question in the first place.

      They’re implying that the entire android software ecosystem is shit and should be avoided

        Not Android specifically, I’m talking mobile games in general. I’m on iOS, and it’s not any better here. Mobile games are usually free for a reason, and that reason is that they are loaded with spyware, ads, and shitty monetization practices that I very highly doubt the majority of PC gamers on Windows, Linux, or MacOS would like to see become more prevalent on their platform.

        And I while I don’t think Valve is some benevolent corporate overlord that’s looking out for what’s best for us, I do think they know how to extract a lot of value out of PC gamers for many years, and that’s by generally giving us what we want.
