    I wouldn’t mind more competition but there’s literally no reason to use egs over valve.

    An example is instead of having a better review system than steam’s basic good or bad they could of had a good, maybe, bad then had separate reviews for reviewing specific patches or something. But no the CEO said reviews are bad for devs LOL.

    On top of that he’s been vocal about being anti Linux and is full of garbage hot takes. And it really says a lot when he lays off staff that are part for Fortnite’s $1.1 billion made

      Yeah, competition is great but they aren’t competing lol. Gog competes with Steam with no DRM. EGS tried to do it by getting exclusives onto their platform, which is just anti-consumer. I’ll never touch their store because of that, even for free shit. I’d rather pay for games than even give them a single datapoint to report to their investors.

      EGS isn’t competing with Steam because Timmy is on record saying his customers are devs and publishers. The rest of us are just pay piggies who should be happy to give money to him.
