    Amazon provides ad and marketing services, hosting, support, and more importantly, logistics.

    Yes, but if its not sold on Amazon, they don’t do these logistics.

    Games sold outside of Steam have no access to Steam features

    And steam allows that too. Their only problem is with distributing the steam keys yourself for less.

    The act of reading is something only the fewest people can do, apparently

        OK, I know English is hard, but you should at least know what alleged means.

        This article describes allegedly that that is happening. The same way I can say that alledegly my guinea pig has just started to talk to me in perfect English. It means literally nothing until either lawsuit no. 4 suddenly finds this to be true (yes, there have been at least 2 before, all of them dismissed afaik) or out of nothing you find some clause saying this is true

        Either that or Mii Mii lends you their hard drive.
