I imagine the upside is the same on Steam too, though. Being on that platform gives legitimacy to your product AND you don't have to work with a publisher to make the product easily accessible. I completely understand that it stinks to work around their system, but hey it's basically free money and maybe you can use this to get a publisher to back Volume 2 :)
