you're not insulting my "ego". Imagine telling a chef of 10 years that cutting meat with a spoon is better. That's how this conversation feels. I'm telling you how the process works and you're saying it doesn't work that way. Even though it does. Then tried to say we agree to disagree. I am factually telling you how the process works.
Also what? Steam has no such guidelines. You can upload your game to as many places as you want? Games release on itch.io, steam, epic store. At this point you are just making things up??? The only guidelines that prohibits uploading a game to another location is if you're the customer. I can't buy the steam game and upload it to another platform...as a customer. As a developer steam does not restrict you.
I honestly dont know what say. This last comment about steam guidelines makes it pretty clear you have no idea what you're talking about.
