And despite that they still don’t prevent you from installing Windows, or “sideloading” games from other stores… but ultimately, they don’t have to because they know that Steam is an incredible storefront that people want to use.

I don’t get why Apple is so concerned about sideloading eating into their profits. If the App Store is truly as good as they say it is, they shouldn’t have any problem keeping developers on board, and if they do, then clearly, it isn’t as good as other options

Valve may sell Steam Deck at a loss, but they know people will willingly use Steam enough for them to cover those costs.
