I like Steam as well, but Steam has behaved in an Apple-like fashion by removing/banning games by coming up with rules regarding content out of thin air and retroactively applying them. I don't think that's a behavior that will change any time soon. https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2014/dec/16/hatred-sh... https://techraptor.net/gaming/news/valve-has-been-quietly-ch... https://www.nme.com/news/gaming-news/steam-is-removing-nft-g...

I wasn't aware about this and as someone who doesn't like censorship, I don't like Steam doing this.

But the good thing is that even if Steam doesn't distribute them, these devs can distribute it through other stores or on their own, that is simply not an option on iOS.
