Minecraft released when Steam was not dominant yet. We still got physical releases when Minecraft first went on sale. Nowadays? Good luck

Wdym when Steam was not dominant? Minecraft was released in 2009 and by that time tons of games were sold on Steam and there was barely any competition except maybe infamous GFWL and GOG who were certainly not a decent competitors in any way.
For Minecraft it took a few years to become widely popular. I think it only took off around beta 1.1-1.2 which is about 2010-2011. By 2011 Steam was an unstoppable game-selling supermachine.
