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.

I call it the smartphone approach (aka Atari 2600).  Only the past few years Steam has been shitted on with plenty of low quality shit games.  Still there are plenty of classic old school games that are cheap on Steam that are actually worth the money or more.  Anyways, the video game market is oversatured and hopefully all the shit companies will die.
