If it’s cheap, all those critiques are irrelevant. Expensive? “It’s cute, I like Steam, I like how it mostly works OOTB,” gets real niche, real quick.

Or they just get lured in by a cheap sticker price. And again, price is still relevant. If this is well over $1K, it starts to negate the Steam storefront cost savings.
