Valve is actually smaller than Larian, but in terms of pure money-making efficiency there's nobody bigger.

You are forced to pay either way or do you think hosting (both installers/updates and some sort of multiplayer matchmaking), marketing, payment providers,… all work for free? Without something like Steam you would just likely be forced to pay someone just to manage all of that for you as an extra employee (or multiple part time employees or outsourced services).

People forget what it was like matchmaking pre-steam. Games would vanish if they weren’t some huge game publisher with a big following.
