Just realistic. The average PC player uses a lot steam and organize their gaming around that. My wishlist is also where I put games I want to follow and track their development. Sure they could have their own private forums or discord community but honestly they are missing out on visibility.
It is a fact at this point that steam wishlisting system helped tremendously some games to keep their inertia and hype going until release or early access.
I don’t doubt what you say but there is a whole other audience that don’t care, want or need it to be on Steam. I’d assume the crossover between open-source fans and Steam isn’t much… and commercial success isn’t the focus.
You don’t need to wishlist it though?
I know a Steam release is planned down the line but it is a free game so you gain nothing by having it on Steam compared to standalone version.
