The chances of someone buying a game on steam then paying monthly on Patreon/SS is quite low.With a wider audience from steam, you could potentially funnel some of those new customers onto patreon and increase funding for future developments of the game.
Why pay again when you already bought it?
Most people don't care about further supporting the game because quite frankly once they bougth it they supported it already.
It makes sense if we're talking about the wider audience and possible mega sales but once someone buys the game they most likely won't pay further to support the game as they already did.Exposure.
Steam is bigly big as you may know. 132 million monthly users. Some might just get the game directly from steam and that is that. Others will get the game, love it, then sign up to the patreon/SS sites etc. All about getting the name, and brand, out there. After all not everyone who loves AVNs frequents sites like this. Then you have all the sales that go on. trending games and all that. People like DPC make an easy 6 digit salary from steam alone... But one has to provide quality, naturally.
