I still stand behind what I said back when they moved to direct publishing. Fee to get on Steam is too cheap. I think it is 100 dollars. Should have been five or ten times of that. And even then I suppose that would have slowed things only a bit.
How genuine indie devs from 3rd world are supposed to release their products then? It places many people in disadvantage to wealthier countries.
Use some other marketplace. Offer some type of pre-order campaign. In the end that is not so many copies to sell via other ways if you have something good on your hands.
