So Steam Direct backfired again, can't say some of us didn't tell you so.

I was thinking the same thing.

Even after all the pewdiepies and sterlings of youtube show actual gameplay and harshly criticize the game, people still go and buy the game.
This is why whatever Steam decides, it won’t work, because: people are stupid and delusional.

Higher fees? Well, it may filter a few honest and also some dishonest devs, but when you have 8 years old playing with $1000 smartphones, you should think twice before believing that money is the best obstacle for delusional devs that believe their games are AAA or for scam games.
