Comment on PROOF: VALVE IS RIPPING EVERY PC GAMER OFF.

Epic Games (even selfishly) tried to address that issue gamers went for their throat instead of cheering.

Nobody was upset that Epic was offering lower commissions. They’re upset with Epic and their exclusives, and their shitty storefronts that have extremely limited features by comparison.

Plus we all know the decreased commissions is just their way of attempting to gain market share, as opposed to just making a better product.

Steam is far from perfect, but it’s also far and away the best option we have.

Have you used Steam in the early days? It took 5 years before they added basic community features.

A better product means nothing if you have no users. Case in point all the enshitified platforms that still exist to this day.

Only option. That’s the ultimate issue, which you prefer to ignore.

  🤦 That’s just a blatant lie. There are dozens of other options. Who do you think you’re fooling with that lie?
