For real, Steam literally took off because they made HL2 exclusive to it. It doesn't matter that it's a first party game, the effect and intent was identical. They could've made it generally available but chose not to. They forced people to use their proprietary product to install a game.

It's crazy how many people shill for valve on Reddit and lemmy when they've already done most of the shit Epic gets accused of.
