Portal 2 project lead wants Valve to return to single-player games

Quoting: satorideponI remember Gabe (or someone other from Valve) said that they were disappointed in Portal 2 sales especially after looking at how Steam was already making them much more money than any of their single player games. TF2 hats and Steam made Valve realize that you can make much more money from services, so they focused on that
I'd like to see a quote/source for that.

Oxenfree is being completely removed from itch.io in October

Quoting: IrisNebulaFolks, if you are dissing on itch, you're overreacting. This is certainly bad PR for Netflix/Night School Studio since they had no reason to do this, but itch isn't breaching any trust nor contract. You bought your game, you got your game. It has given you a DRM-Free installer that you can use whenever you want, as many times as you want. Even if new downloads are pulled, this shouldn't affect anyone much. Imagine going to a store and demanding a new copy of your game because you lost the game CD you bought there last year and being angry they won't service you. Infinite downloads for DRM-Free stuff is a courtesy and honestly they aren't even always provided by some software shops.

If it was on a platform like Steam, that by design makes you re-download to re-install which would mean you'd be locked out of new installations, then yeah, that would have been a big deal, but that's another beast entirely.
Don't make excuses for shitty stuff happening.

You buy stuff digitally with the understanding that you get to keep your games.

Your comparison with a retail games is unfair, because you bought that with the understanding that you bought one copy.
