I understood what you meant. I feel the same way. Most of my games are on Steam as well, and I'd be hesitant to shop elsewhere for the same reason. My view of Steam has greatly changed after the fiasco with A Petal Among Thorns. I get a little 'steamed' when I talk about them now. I feel like they really did me wrong.
I sincerely do wish I had a better answer. I'd be happy to jump through hoops for Steam to get my work on there, but they flat out rejected APAT without the option for me to make edits and resubmit. They didn't just do me wrong, they did us all wrong. That's what bothers me the most. There's a lot of people that will never get to play APAT now that would love it. And that's a darn shame.
I appreciate that you've enjoyed my work. I'm working with an analyst now who is going to help me start building stories that fit better with Steam's requirements. We should be able to put out some quality, fun works after the Rose Garden trilogy that we'll actually be able to get on Steam. The future should be brighter.
