The argument isn’t that only Steam gamers are hoarders. The argument is that game hoarders congregate on Steam. You can have hoarding gamers in the wild, and those wild hoarders may never touch Steam, but you’re guaranteed to find hoarding gamers on Steam. If you’re looking to sell games to hoarders you’re going to sell more when you do it where hoarders regularly visit.

It’s the same reason Epic is giving away free games. They’re trying to attract hoarders by giving them a free hoard and regularly inviting them into their shop. They won’t really attract hoarders who are entrenched on Steam but they will attract future hoarders who might not yet have a huge Steam library.

My epic library is nearly 10% of my steam one, and I’ve only bought a couple games.
