I know I'm throwing my energy against a brick wall here, but again: I know he is talking about platforms and I know what that means.
Clearly you don't.
He wasn't saying Steam is a good distribution channel - he said that the PC is a good platform to develop a game for.
Your original post said, "These are all comments from "niche" game sellers. And just a small sample of proof of steam being a good platform for niche games." - contrary to what Frogboy says - that the PC is a good platform - he does not go into whether or not Steam is a good channel for a game developer to sell his product. He says nothing of the sort that you imply.
That gives us two choices - You misunderstood Frogboy's post. Or deliberately misrepresented him.

Many times you have asked of any proof of steam as a healthy platform. There it is in clear figures and still you skip it. There is a small strategy game developer (+the other links) talking about "the steam factor" and complaining the lack of visibily to make informed decisions and still you ignore it. What kind of proof do you need? Direct message addressed to you, with exact figures and signed by all the distributors in the business?
Again, there you go misrepresenting or misinterpreting me.
My position is that Steam isn't the land of milk and honey that you make it out to be. You repeatedly present "facts" which turn out to be vacuous and worthless. Anecdotal statements and vague comments on sales - with nothing on profit. Your so-called business studies have taught you that turning a profit is the point of a business, right? But perhaps you haven't gotten that far, since your previous posts have demonstrated a lack of understanding of the difference between "revenue" and "profit".

You have your belief and as believers go, there is never enough evidence to prove you wrong.
You have yet to produce one iota of evidence. All you have presented are anecdotes and conjecture. If I weigh your so-called evidence you base your decisions on - against what Erik has available to him - the outcome should be obvious.
I really wonder where you get off second-guessing Matrix's decisions when you have no facts - no evidence - to indicate that Matrix's decision was wrong? Arrogance? Hubris? Feeble-mindedness?

EDIT2: "Steam is a digital distribution, digital rights management, multiplayer and communications platform developed by Valve Corporation." On further examination: I wasn't using wrong terms, you were just nitpicking, please do NOT correct me again.
In that case, you deliberately misrepresented Frogboy's post. He did not praise Steam. He did not say it was a wonderful channel to sell his games. He only said that the PC is a good platform to develop for - and referred to Steam sales as one quantifiable source for sales figures. Nowhere in his post did he say "Steam has me rolling in cash". He said nothing of the sort. But since you insist you know the "platform" he we referring to - and understood his post - then you deliberately misrepresented his statements. That, to use a word commensurate with your comprehension level, is commonly called A LIE.
I have no need to correct you again. It's quite clear that you're wrong and trying to wriggle out of your most recent display of your obviously feeble grip of the English language.
