There were a few games that explained slow updates with "just download them on steam" when asked, ofc it's not on steam that publishers are lazy. Publishers are lazy because steam has such an overwhelming majority that they can ignore customers on other platforms. I do prefer gog because they are drm free and offline, so in the inevitable crash of global internet i will have my oldie games, lol.
that's still the publisher not steam and honestly a bit gog that they let them get away with that you can't blame steam and customers largely using the better platform for awful publishers scamming people on a different platform
