Steam is vital for most indie game developers. This can help small studios and solo developers gain visibility, distribute updates easily and generate revenue from their games. And although he created the game as a joke, some argue that it raises a serious issue that could harm small indie games (also see the Steam game marketing cheat sheet). Some indie developers claim that this blanket rule means players can complete short indie games and then claim a refund even if they enjoyed the game. Without the possibility of a refund, players might never try some lesser known indie games, especially now the market is so saturated with AI-heavy slop.
