This is what happened when Steam came:

The game went down to hell, since the situation never stop getting worse and worse. AC is also a community game that can't handle 50K new players in the same day. It's as simple as that.
Steam also ruined the famous Counter Strike.
Hey I remember Realm of the Mad God! I think a new company took it over recently and made it even more of a P2W game, sadly.
On-topic (well, I guess): Can you imagine if AC somehow got Greenlit and then had 5,000 new players within 1-2 days?
