Gifting a game to interested friends and family members is Very easy on Steam.
Sharing links and explaining pirate downloads on F95 is Not something as easy nor is it something I could do with everyone in that same audience.
Now, perhaps your family and friends are different, and they all know about and use F95. If so - that is fine.
It is just not the reality for others.
I'm looking forward to gifting SG to a number of people. It is, in Season 1, a great story with adult elements and therefor more mainstream.
If they like it enough to choose to download Season 2 when it is available or to wishlist it on Steam, I will continue to gift it; if not, I won't.
So That is why Steam is a Very good venue for sharing Summers Gone and building the fan base.
Cheers!!
