There's a very important detail that is missing here, namely that Steam has a clause where you cannot list your game elsewhere for less than you list it on Steam. Many indie games are published to Itch.io and Steam, but Valve forces them to list both at the same price, meaning thay since most gamers use Steam they will automatically choose the version that invisibly only gives the devs 70% of the revenue. Sure Valve does have lots of nice features, but those features could be duplicated over time by one of Valve's competitors. The problem is that to get a competing platform off of the ground, you need to entice people with lower prices since you can't compete on features. Valve uses its monopoly status to make this impossible.

I remember listening to an interview with a guy who was spied on in one of those groups, I forget which podcast though... Maybe TrueAnon or QAA?

Exactly, the PNW states have long resisted sending water to southern California, politicians know that it is super unpopular (for good reason, it's billions of taxpayer $ to prop up oligarch plantation owners) so they resist, not impossible that it might change but it would require some truly incredible kickbacks. Will plug the book Cadillac Desert which goes into detail about the history of water struggles in the southwest.
