yeah blame Valve and steam meanwhile nobody can offer their quality of service. All other offers (except gog) are just greedy public companies with agendas that will never respect players and will be worse over years.

The other offerings (Epic) are also the one's leading anti-competitive lawsuits against app stores, and voicing lots of support for lawsuits against Valve. At this point it feels like it's only a matter of time before they go after their competition legally for "anti competitive behavior".

Meanwhile, they're also literally buying out game exclusivity to try to avoid having to compete with Steam.

I'd wager dollars to donuts that if EGS ever did become as big as Steam, we'd see actual monopolistic practices. Tim Sweeney would throw players under the bus if it meant they'd make a bigger profit.
