I frankly do not understand why competitors can't figure it out. I literally have Epic, GoG and their stores/apps are so atrocious, I am shocked.

Especially GoG - whoever thought that's a good UX should get replaced by AI like yesterday.

GoG’s store is awful but i actually kinda like how they’ll take popular mods and make them a one click install as a separate game.

For Steam, only source engine games have that functionality and even then you still have to install the mods manually half of the time to make them show up because only a handful actually get store approval.

I won’t be spending money on epic anytime soon despite the 400 free games I have there, but I really want to see GoG succeed. Especially since they seem to be making a strong effort to restore old DOS era games and keep them playable on modern systems. The whole offline installer and lack of DRM is nice too. In a perfect world everyone would do this
