>>131 regardless of how much I like Steam, I despise the fact that it is the ONLY real storefront for PC games at this point and I am immensely concerned for when gabe dies/goes senile/abandons any sense of principles because it's not like valve isn't a multi-billion dollar company lol
Monopolies suck, and monopolies that exist just because the competition actively spends time doing dumb Dick Dastardly bullshit instead of actually competing REALLY suck. I'm still pissed that Tim Sweeney seems to insist on actively trying to be like Lex Luthor towards Superman when it comes to Steam, rather than actually improving their product and giving people a reason to use their services. Epic's store is so lacking versus using Steam for no reason. It's so bad that no one even wants the free games on Epic, since that means you'd need to use the shitty ass Epic launcher. I've seen a ton of PC game releases lose ALL TRACTION due to being an EGS timed exclusive.
I could keep going but now I'm getting angry. Also, I really should go use GOG more, since I won't need to worry about what happens to my library if Steam ever breaks their promises. Technically, I can just "acquire" those games after the fact, but it's better to support a company that has actively made it so you don't need to depend on their continued existence to play the games you bought.
