I just think they get way more goodwill from their customers than they probably deserve.

That's fair. They do a few things I don't appreciate but overall I like them a lot better than any alternative other than GOG but I do hate that developers don't update stuff the way it deserves on there sometimes.

Its always good to be a little critical of any service.

But the thing about the sales is that the developers and publishers set the sale price, not Valve. Valve still takes the cut of course.

But the reason you are seeing that most people buy them and don't play them on there specifically is because it's just the most used service for gaming. They have a higher userbase than playstation and Xbox combined. And that really just ties in with them being the most customer friendly.

I'm not saying they arent without faults but they are better overall than any of the competition.

Also to add to this PlayStation has been known to limit and straight up restrict indie developers sales prices on their platform sometimes straight up not letting them do it at all. So that's another reason it all ties together to Valve not being a shit company. I'm sure that Xbox probably does the same thing but haven't researched it as I sold my Xbox when they did the gamepass price hike this last time.

In my opinion letting indie developers set their own sale prices is good for the industry. But not letting them certainly isn't.
