Even if you accept the premise of your argument, what percentage of games do you think is getting that deal? It's still sink or swim for the vast, vast majority of indie games in that case. I'm all for competition, I just don't like that specific business practice.
Not sure but giving your own products preferential placement on what you present to the public as an open marketplace is an anti-competitive behavior that they have been caught doing.
Shitty business model. Exclusivity contracts. Haven't heard about it much lately though so maybe they're not pulling that crap as much now that they're more established.
Sometimes people just don't wanna see slurs or dehumanizing content. Doesn't make them soft. Something you see that is "an opinion you dislike" might feel a whole lot worse for someone else depending on their age, race, sexuality, gender, ect.
