From what I understand, most of Krita’s development budget comes from income on Steam, with fund.krita.org being a smaller slice. Krita would effectively be in maintenance mode if they didn’t have money to pay regular developers and maintainers.
You can still just get it for free on the website.
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 as always - it’s open source.
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

Steam seems a bit of an odd place for it, but I don’t really see a problem with it.
Nah. Updated the post with the explanation. The joke didn’t land
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
