“Steamworks SDK is comprehensive — matchmaking, achievements, cloud saves, workshop, and Proton for Linux. The standard for PC games.”
“30% is steep but the audience and infrastructure are unmatched. Steam Deck expanded the platform's reach.”
“Steam's position in PC gaming is unassailable. The Deck and Proton show Valve investing in the platform's future.”
