Steam changed their content recommendation algorithms a couple of years ago to heavily favour big name titles, I think to attract more aaa games like from EA. Indies have really struggled since then, with revenue plummeting. It’s nice to have an alternative

I'm not privy to what Steam's content algorithm is but I always that the flood of indie games around the same time frame was a big part of the difficulty in the space https://www.statista.com/statistics/552623/number-games-rele...

I'm excited for the store competition though, particularly with it driving the cut down.
