The market share is not the issue when they make the product. Taken to the extreme they sell their game at $200 on steam and $30 their store only. We now have effective consoles on PC with first party exclusives. Like I said find me proof of them doing this with third party stores and I will be more up in arms. Right now it feels like a company signed a contract and now want out of it.
What is wrong with them offering the game only through their own platform? It’s annoying because you have to have another login? Anything more than that?
There is nothing wrong with only selling in your platform from a business standpoint. Though certainly plenty from a consumer standpoint. That isn’t the scenario though.

It’s not like you’ll find any valve games outside of steam, right?

That’s not the reason, but I have refunded games that require me to create a 3rd party account just to play.
