Closing the comments here. Don’t think leaving them open even with approvals will lead to anything productive or helpful.

It's not a DLC, it's a standalone game. Even with the same developer, one game working does not mean the next definitely will.

It's also why I stick with Kubuntu myself. I love KDE Plasma, and don't want the hassle of such breaking changes so potentially often. I do wish I could more easily get newer Plasma releases though...

Update: Turns out this was actually already a rule that Valve had. It was listed on their Pricing page but this change has made it a lot more visible with its own dedicated section.

I think people throw around words like "scam" far too often, at times for the strangest reasons. The game clearly needed more time, hence Early Access, but they also clearly didn't see a good release in terms of sales and need more money to actually finish and improve it. So going for another funding method to do so actually seems like a good business plan. I don't see anything even remotely "scam" like here. This is just small-team indie development.

What you're talking about will hit pre-existing games on Steam, again, some of the most played and biggest earners where players absolutely will move because a lot of the time it's their main game. It's different to trying to launch new games elsewhere.

If Valve banned kernel-level anti-cheat, some of the most popular and most-lucrative games on Steam would go to the Epic Store, terrible business move that will never happen.

Oops, it didn't even show up when I searched Steam for Beholder when writing this article either as I knew there were previous games 🤷🏻
