    Escape from Tarkov has been very successful with their own site and launcher. I don’t see it ever going to steam and it’s regularly in the top 10 of twitch

      That's like saying racism doesn't exist because there are black people in power.

        No, it’s saying if you make a good game and launcher then you don’t need to rely on one of the storefront that take 30% like epic or Valve. Idk what GoGs cut is but I’ve also never bought anything from there

          It's survivorship bias. You're looking at the success of Tarkov but you don't hear about all the games that failed because they weren't on Steam.

            Thousands fail every day on the platform as well, is that survivorship bias as well or just evidence that trash fails and quality succeeds regardless of location
