    Epic is no “challenger”, it’s just another launcher, nobody would ever speak about if they weren’t gifting away games and sitting on top of their engine.

    Steam, as dangerous as it might be, is not just a launcher. It became a hub and social media of gaming.

    I always laugh when I see so many people defend billion dollar corporation A because reasons. But billion dollar corporation B does the exact same thing offering the exact service and somehow they’re the most evil thing ever invented.

    Still though this article is silly.

    Steam is no better than any other online games marketplace side from maybe GOG or similar.

      Fuck off. Reasons do matter.

      While Steam isn’t publically traded it’s better than Epic, Microsoft, or whichever other distributor you go through as it isn’t beholden to line goes up.

        I’m referring to digital software in general. No matter which store you choose, they can and will take away your games at any time for any reason.
