I found it via YouTube, steam had nothing to do with it. Your not making a point here and I'm not going to keep it up.

A great example is when Factorio was released onto steam.

Again youtube, I leaned about it from nerd cubed. I spend a lot of time on YouTube over the years and I find out about most off-steam games from there. Dwarf fortress is another that comes to mind.

See, there it is. You just wanted to make an argument for the sake of it. Later trash.

My point is steam is a massive marketing platform. You finding it on youtube was luck.

YouTube is also a platform for marketing, it's where people hear about most trends nowadays, there and at other social medias
