You did not answer the question. Developers that self publish are repying purely on word of mouth marketing. Its rarely successful. Minecraft is very rare exception.
I learn about vintage story from a very obscure video on youtube a few years ago. I never see any media talking about it. Lemmy is the only place i see people occasionally talking about it.
Not true at all starsector is one of my favs and so is vintage story and before that Minecraft in its early days. Your just straight up wrong.
Neither of those games have released and at least one of them is planning a Steam release
Of course counterexamples exist (Fortnite probably being the biggest one), but it’s true for the vast majority of releases
Yeah, but how did you learn about those games?
not through steam, whats your point relating to this question?

No they’re not, they’re good games and didn’t need steam to get recog ised by the comunity, Im failing to see your point.

Idk what to tell you I found videos about it on YouTube and Iv found plenty.
Was that before or after you filled the algo with VS videos?
I found it via YouTube, steam had nothing to do with it. Your not making a point here and I’m not going to keep it up.
