"Valve is not your friend, and Steam is not healthy for gaming"

[Zoombael]

Good article? However, it's not thorough enough, actually it doesn't highlight what really is "not healthy for gaming". It is the devaluation of games, caused by this noxious competitive practice. Flooding a platform with products, completely ignoring quality threshold, aggressive price cutting, with the consequence of low and plummeting demand.

Sure, the unthinking zombie consumer gamer thinks it is healthy competition, good for the customer. But the reality, for an industry where progress is imperative and demanded it is very harmful.
