For me it depends on the type of game if I feel bad about buying it or not.

I do feel bad about buying big title AAA games from companies who are known for being horrible to their employees but I--generally--don't feel bad about buying indie games; especially if they don't have a publisher.

It has been such a long time since I have gamed, but I would think that if you want to support independent studios they might have a way to sell the software to you without using steam as a middle man.

You are totally right, I should definitely look more into that.

Itch.io at least let's creators set how much of thier sale goes to itch.io. Better yet some devs will sell their game on their own website.

Some have the option to buy the game from their website.
