Dusk: Unpopular opinion: I'd rather pay Valve 30% and put up with their de facto monopoly than help Epic work towards their own (very obviously desired) monopoly (twitter.com)

I meant that they're fighting Valve, which is "the good fight". They're not the only ones doing it, and they're definitely not the best ones doing it, but they're doing it. If they do manage to take a big chunk out of Valve's marketshare somehow, that will be good for everyone, even people who decide to stay on Steam.

No they permanently lost claim to "fighting the good fight" when they literally bundled their software with malware.
