    Bad take.

    I’ll remind you that Steam needs SOME competition in order to actually get better, and I can’t think of anyone else able to do it (Microsoft has kinda already tried and failed). Remember when Steam suddenly addressed long-standing issues with the client and storefront a couple years ago? That was because the EGS appeared.

    I’ll also remind young folks that the Internet was extremely negative regarding steam when it was new. Yes, I’ve been on Steam for 20+ years.

    Tldr: EGS is fine. Relax.

    Edit: clarity

      Also a bad take. Competition is good, and a proper competitor to steam would benefit us all, but users don’t have to support them just on the basis of them being competitors.

      I agree “EGS is bad because I want only steam” is silly, but if it’s a worse experience for the individual user or if they perceive it’s involved in non consumer friendly practices, it’s perfectly normal they are not supported.

        I fully support a good competitor to Steam like GOG. It may be less convenient than Steam but it has one key feature that no other shop has: no DRM.

          This is the best way forward. If GOG had more games it would change the industry. More companies need to partner with them.
