When I buy a game, I want a game.

Not yet another platform to bleed my wallet dry.

I also don't want to be forced to use some stupid storefront just because the publisher wanted an extra 18% cut or whatever. If your game lives and dies by that 18% cut, perhaps you should make a better game.

If I want to use EGS, GOG, or Steam, that should be my choice, don't force me to switch to something else just because you want higher margins.
