I'm just curious why this addon isn't included by default and has to be downloaded manually. Steam support is included in the marketing of Construct 3.

Because it only works with specific versions of NW.js and the Steam SDK. If it was built-in to Construct it would lock you to those specific versions until we did an update to Construct, which would then lock you to new versions. Having it as a separate addon gives you the freedom to match to whichever NW.js/Steam SDK version you want.

Yes of course, that makes sense. Thanks for the info!
