I learn about vintage story from a very obscure video on youtube a few years ago. I never see any media talking about it. Lemmy is the only place i see people occasionally talking about it.
Again youtube, I leaned about it from nerd cubed. I spend a lot of time on YouTube over the years and I find out about most off-steam games from there. Dwarf fortress is another that comes to mind.

My point is steam is a massive marketing platform. You finding it on youtube was luck.
YouTube is also a platform for marketing, it’s where people hear about most trends nowadays, there and at other social medias
