But that doesn't make my statement any less valid... I said the platform is growing which it is...

Calling something spin doesn't mean I'm saying it's false. All spin is true in some way.

But how is it a spin though...

There is an incredble amount of shovelware on the platform. All the early access titles, mobile ports, indie games seemingly made on a 3 figure budget etc, glad they're filtered out from the front pages. The barrier of entry is so low, everyone who knows how to make a game will put it on there.

I think that you only need to donate something, a few hundreds of US$, to release a game on Steam.
