Opening a company is not expensive, and shows you are serious about what you’re doing; no fee would be required from Valve.
If individual cannot stabilish his own company, find a publisher, there’s dozens out there.
Kill Early Access, that is a disease that came to life with the advent of Minecraft; just… bring back shareware demos, remove Early Access.
And that’s enough to solve a ton of current problems; kind of simple, really.
