are already available through the classic game service GOG. But more choice is always a good thing. This is particularly true when it comes to making older games more accessible on modern platforms, something that’s becoming increasingly rare for all but the biggest titles.

They were on GOG, and it’s for more access to more people and compatibility.

Article was only a few paragraphs, I thought Reddit was bad for people not reading articles, fucking shit lmfao.

Maybe go back to Reddit if your replies are that toxic. I read that. It's the author's opinion that he's happy it's on steam now. It is not the answer to the question, so I thought maybe you had some insight or I misread something. I gave another user (you) the benefit of the doubt that maybe I missed something. Maybe you're in defensive mode from Reddit. It's not needed here

That's not an answer to the question and your reading comprehension is bad if you think it is.
