>Can we not say people aren't conversing in good faith solely as a method of shutting down further conversation?

I will call a duck a duck as long as it quacks like one. I simply want to maintain the spirit of the guidelines

>Please respond to the strongest plausible interpretation of what someone says, not a weaker one that's easier to criticize. Assume good faith

They made a hyperbolic statement and you are responding to the literal hyperbolic point and dismissing the main point in the same comment about the 90% monopoly. I don't see that as following the guidelines. There's no interesting conversation to have about "does your game not existing if it is not on Steam?", not even in a philosophical sense.

>it seems like you haven't played and aren't a fan, which is totally fine,

I'm just worried about its future. Especially in these turbulous times. You don't really get the luxury of rocking the boat that much. Maybe the founders will be fine, but the last thing I want is more layoffs over extemelty preventable issues.

> I'm not sure what your comments about "making my game with direct sales figures in mind" are referencing.

I wouldn't worry about it too mucn. Just personal ramblings. I'll just say "when I a good rush, sell shovels".
