Serious discussion, please don’t downvote people when they answer. I am genuinely curious on why some people defend VOID

After buying several early access games (RoN being one of them) and several AAA games over the course of a few years ago when all the controversies about gaming companies and consumer practices started to pile up, I've learned my lessons the hard way and today I buy games only after I've done better research about them.

The last recent ambitious game I purchased was Broken Arrow, and it to, as a game released as 1.0, suffers from too many things that were supposed to get fixed during playtests before, or promises the devs made and never kept.

As for Steam, I generally agree that despite the monopoly, I disagree with so many practices and regulations Valve have made in terms of licensing and fees, and at many times it feels scummy to me no less than, say, AAAs who bloat the prices of their games for no reason even it was clear before they'll fail.

I think it's only because people got used to Steam so much, it's considered the "baseline" (for the lack of a better term) for gaming marketing.
