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.

    GOG still has that niche of the "old games." Can't think of anywhere else I could get DOS games from my childhood that also come with patches and updates to make them work on modern systems.
