Being on steam doesnt immediately mean they’re trusted
Being on Steam means I’ll download the game, and it will run on my stable environment, regardless if the studio closes down or decides the launcher is no longer Linux compatible.
Look to the recent games that were malware stealing from charaties for example
Something that happens once in a blue moon and is immediately caught by Valve? I’m good.
Minecraft is also an example of a off platform trusted game with their own proprietary launchers for Java/bedrock.
Which ends up requiring a third party to maintain a Linux launcher because the official one was sold to Microsoft which makes it problematic… Are you trying to prove my point for me?
