    I don't know the proper terminology for the phenomenon

    Perceptual bias I think is the term you are looking for.

    It certainly is the problem when ever a thread like this starts up. To properly check the rng you need thousands, if not millions, of results. Not a 100 or so. And it's been done, it's been checked, and it's fine.

    Does Steam not have any truly free games on its system then?

    No idea. I've played a couple of games that were free to start but have dlc and in game purchases, and that will still need to kick back to the store platform (Steam, GoG, whoever).

    But back to the point in the OP, you wouldn't want this game on Steam (or any other game store platform) as they will want a percentage of income and Homecoming is a non profit. If Steam were invited to the table I suspect they'd want an upfront sale price or microtransactions inside the game, if free to play, which they will take a slice.

    There's an actual upcoming game called Superhero.

    I looked it up, they have a joint trademark on the word "Superhero" and "Super Hero." Seems like they've had it for a while, at least defending their claim in U.S. courts. And they've got Paramount and Disney lawyers behind them. 

    I looked it up too. Learnt something new (that "superhero" is trademarked, but not the description "superhero game") and also learned they aren't actively defending it anymore. There's many companies using the word (and games, in their title or description, on Steam alone, see below pic) superhero in their name and Marvel/DC only went after the one that used their shield & lettering logo; not the word "superhero".

    I don't see how Steam doesn't have any kind of VOIP system as far as I know. (half a joke in that)

    I don't see how Steam would spread knowledge of the game. It can't list it as a superhero game as the term as Marvel and DC Comics have joint ownership of the term as a trademark.

    Steam chat has VOIP.

     

    Steam could advertise the game (and it being a shop that would take a percentage of any sales it would be in their interests to occasionally do that).

     

    And I don't think you understand how trademarks work. Marvel and DC have not trademarked the term Superhero Game.

    Oh how did you add HC to Steam? I wasn’t aware you could do that!!

     

    😃

    There's a button, near the bottom left, Add a Non Steam Game to Library. 

    Click it, follow instructions. 

    I've several non Steam games that I launch from there, most don't have any attached graphics (the big City of Heroes banner), so it's nice to see this one does.
