    Rocket League is cross-platform because it uses Epic Online Services. The multiplayer component offered by Valve on Steam and powering many of the games doesn’t work anywhere but on Steam, making it a closed system limited to other Steam users.

    The bottom line is that yes, the game devs are free to use their own multiplayer systems but then what’s the role of recommending Steam in the context of this post? Why not PC as a whole?
