valve might be better, but are you actually whining about digital distribution? it's saving gigatons of co2 emissions on physical delivery alone.
PAY ATTENTION: PUTTING 1s AND 0s ON PLASTIC DISKS SO THEY CAN GO TO A STORE AND SIT ON A SHELF FOR MONTHS BEFORE SOMEONE BUYS THEM AND DRIVES THEM HOME IS A MIND NUMBINGLY STUPID WAY TO DISTRIBUTE 1s AND 0s.
You want a physical copy? Kickstart the physical edition. Complaining that valve setup a digital distribution system that actually works is so fucking dumb it makes my brain hurt.
You’re not wrong, but they also don’t make it easy to print those 1’s and 0’s to physical media once you have them.
