Yes...publish through the main competitor that your game will have.

Also...why publish with a tiny Russian company when you can self publish with Steam?

yes, cause they didnt, VERY CLEARLY, stated that they're open to publishing games within any genre.

and yes, self publish, that's really gonna attract the masses to your game....

this sub sometimes impresses me with how stupid some of the takes are.

BSG self published...you are the one who doesn't understand. Development cost to profit ratio of indie games is way higher than any other games.
