but you will happilly support second hand scalpers where developers get no money at all

Entirely different concepts, and doesn't really compare. It's not a question of supporting the developer, it's a much bigger scale. I'd rather pirate PC games than support Steam. And I honestly never pirate stuff.

if cave came back from the dead and released exclusively on steam i'm sure all your morals would change instantly.

What no. Quite the contrary.
I think you might be confusing "Steam" with either PC games or digital releaases as a whole, which is pretty much the heart of what bothers me with Steam.

but this is not our reality

Smash is also a good game, a very good game.
