Is it about Krita being on steam not for free?

If I’d use krita on regular basis I’d be happy to support the devs. Also, the license is the same.

Why is on steam? To use it on a steam deck?
so you can pay to support them, just like how goblin tools is on the app store
Blender has been on steam for years. As have other multimedia and game tools. For platforms like windows, it is one of the best auto update systems widely available.
Steam seems a bit of an odd place for it, but I don’t really see a problem with it.
Wait, so you have to first run Steam to edit a pic? Rather give them a donation i think.
Most things installed from steam run just fine without steam running
Nah. Updated the post with the explanation. The joke didn’t land
