EDIT: Today it just got a new record again! A few hours after I posted this post, lol. To me stats and numbers are interesting. New numbers:

      Except they kinda did.

      They pay publishers to use Steam as DRM for physical releases.

      If you wanted to play the game on PC, you needed Steam.

        First, this is not what you said earlier, its a different statement. Also… where do you get that Valve pays publishers to use Steam as DRM? And therefore forces them a kind of exclusivity deal? No, Valve does not do that.
