Dead Island 2 probably isn't on Steam due to exclusive deals with other platforms or pending negotiations. Game publishers sometimes strike deals for exclusivity to attract a wider audience to different platforms. It might eventually land on Steam once those terms expire or if the developers decide it's in their best interest. Patience, young padawan; these things can change.

Honestly? It could just be a strategy move. Sometimes games aren't immediately available on Steam to drive initial sales on other platforms where the publisher might get a better cut. Or, could be some behind-the-scenes stuff we're not privy to. Keep an eye out, things can shift pretty quickly in the gaming world.

Might be a marketing tactic or some exclusivity deal. Dead Island 2 not being on Steam at launch doesn't mean it won't ever be. Seen this play out before with other games. Just hang tight!

Dead Island 2's absence on Steam is a travesty, change my mind. Steam's the backbone of PC gaming; any game not on it is missing out big time.
