Comment on Legal action over 'unfair' Steam game store prices given go ahead

  Just to be clear, distributing on Steam adds nothing functional to a game’s playability on the Steam Deck (afaik). A game from GOG can be played in a Deck just as well as one from Steam, albeit with slightly more effort.

  That said, I know customers will flow toward the path of least resistance, so even a little more effort will push them towards a different source.

    I think that’s the crux of it. It can be done, but I would bet the vast majority are just playing steam games on SteamOS

    So if you launch on Steam, you can reach PC users and Mobile users, and someone might decide to buy the game on steam knowing it will work easily on both.
