So it seems you thought there clearly is a difference. If not, why make this post?
This post is clearly in contradiction with the quote from Forbes. That is easy for all to see, but hey, I am pedantic...
Also:
If you are a publisher you are not cutting a middle man by using Steam. You are replacing a retailer by Steam.
End of story, you guys can now play with yourselves.
