I agree with the thrust of your point, that a tiny handful of games have their own gravity field which lets them ignore the titan that is Steam.

But nit: that's not what "exception that proves the rule" means. An example of that saying is a sign that says "no parking 2-4pm", which proves that there is a rule that you can park any other time. WoW, Fortnite, CoD, Minecraft, those are just "exceptions".
