  • And then you get blamed when it breaks, so they switch back to what they know and use a ready-made solution from Microsoft with full 24/7 support package.

    Because it is more important for it to work reliably and be fixed quickly, than for it to not be proprietary or not made by some evil corporation.

    Downtime costs money.

    I know Linux can be extremely reliable, but they rarely have all the bells and whistles that Microsoft offers and are rarely compatible with all the other software they are already using.

    Having multiple different systems overlapping also adds overhead.

    So I doubt you will be able to convince many like that. It is easy looking at it from a tech perspective, but they don’t make those decisions.

    If a game isn’t sold on Steam, It isn’t going to sell well.

    Because of the huge amount of Valve fanboys who only buy games if they are on Steam.

    Games on other stores might as well not exist.

    And more, if a game even dares to launch on a different store, it would garner unfavour of all those Valve fanboys and hurt their sales even if afterwards it does launch on Steam.

    It is a user enforced monopoly.
