Great talk from @Sly_Rebirth on indies in 2018. Competition on Steam has gone up massively between 2016 and 2017. Indies should also "always think about lawyers."

It is worth noting competition TO steam has also gone up massively too, with
@GOGcom carving out a impressive 8% of sales from an entrenched company with a captive audience. Developers need to stop seeing Steam as THE PC platform. more releases elsewhere, less power valve has
Absolutely! Other PC platforms are continuing to rise given Steam's "noise".

A big problem is that many developers have become overly dependant on Steams API. While fairly understandable for multiplayer, many dev of single player games tell me its too costly to make the game useable outside of Steam. Design is to blame, no plan for code to be portable.
