If the developers want to just directly sell me their games old school I'd be cool with that.

Exactly. I've been Linux-only since 2009 or so, and had never used Steam before switching. I remember buying Minecraft and Factorio directly from their websites, and I remember when Humble Bundle didn't have such a connection w/ Steam.

I'd be down with it if they support my platform. If they don't, I'll stick with Steam.
