While many accuse Valve of monopolising the PC gaming market, others argue that Steam's dominance is simply the result of doing things right.

    Devs are still free to sell their game outside of Steam and charge whatever price they want for that version

      I think you’re not allowed to “sell” it for free with the same version and features. Which should be unsurprising.

          Same with Aseprite. You can buy it from their store or Steam. If you’re cool enough you can compile it yourself and get the full program for free.
