I am not in favour of Steam. It is a proprietary platform on which you can play mostly proprietary games. This is clearly not the solution to the problem you are describing. What we need is more *free* game developers, and more *free* games! I.e. games with free software, free art and free data in general.

Give us the money to pay our bills, and we will quit our studies and day jobs to make games. That is after all the free game developer dream. Unfortunately, for a lot of game types there are no currently viable solutions to making money. (Games that function as SAAS have an advantage here, but that doesn't mean their roads are necessarily paved with opportunity and void of hardship.) So, how do we make money? I do not precisely know at the moment. However, I do know that the solution lies within *our* community; not via an anti-social proprietary platform such as Steam.
