Fellow Swedes, consider sending an email to a politician regarding the planned reduction of "strandskyddet" (beach protection). These changes are terrible for lots of endangered species and will reduce people's access to rivers and lakes.

Perfect analogy. We are as independent from Steam as drivers are from Uber.
This didn't happen by random chance of the market or some neutral development of technology. The game industry, like many industries, figured out how to outsource all the risks and costs of production onto the aspirational while capturing their own cut as rent. Game devs are uber drivers now.
