The weirdest part is, it's fine. Steam's only clear sins are the 30% cut that they copied from consoles, and the real-money charges that must be legislated out of existence. But they have the power to become a problem - and we can't guard against that if we don't recognize it.

Having one good option is a single fuckup away from having no good options.
