You aren't done with the store. It will be there every time you intend to play your game... And probably other games that don't even use the store... And probably when you turn your computer on, resulting in boot-up bloat that slows everything down.

Of course not. But engaging in Anti-Consumer practices isn't the best way to offer competition to Steam.
Win consumers over by offering a compelling product and not trying to strong-arm them into submission.
| DreadPirateRoberts said: I think 99% of people whining about it only care because they have Steam and only want Steam. So is a game being exclusive to another store a problem? No more than a game being exclusive to Steam is. So if that is really your complaint, then I hope you are being consistent about it. People are mad because their having to face a trifling inconvenience of opening another launcher is more important to them than Valve abusing its market position to gouge the devs out of millions of dollars is. |
No. Consumers are "mad" because they decided to vote with their wallets and not support said game on yet another digital distribution platform... And were essentially blackmailed/threatened over it... Rather than have the company simply listen to what consumers wanted.
Why couldn't they simply do a Day 1 release on all digital distribution platforms? It's the PC.
