Nothing more disappointing to me than seeing a game I might enjoy... and then it's only available on PC on Epic Games store. Why can't it be available on Epic, Xbox game store and Steam? It's so annoying, like you have no choice but to use Epic... which I would literally do ANYTHING not to use.

Steam itself seemingly isn't trying to have a monopoly.

But damned if there isn't a massive, very-loud Internet contingent that desperately wants them to have that monopoly.

If your immediate trigger reaction is seething anger when someone says, "I got a good deal on a game from Epic".... maybe that's not healthy. The "Lord Gaben" meme isn't meant to be taken 100% literally.

i don't get angry at things that don't affect me lol

i do worry for steam's future, it's only this good because "Lord Gaben" has made many great decisions, it may not be a democracy but a good "dictator" is often more effective than a democracy. But what happens if/when Steam goes to shit for whatever reason? the internet will implode
