People need to stop fighting in favor of a PC gaming monopoly in the hands of Valve. Shopping at multiple stores is more inconvenient than just getting everything from Amazon or Walmart, it's still bad for consumers to only have a single source for everything.
"Fighting in favor of PC gaming monopoly"
Jesus Christ, the drama. If anything, I'm fighting for Debbie Downers like you to let me enjoy my favorite shit in peace.
I promise you when Capcom publishes Viewtiful Joe on Itch.io, I'll buy it there. Now please take your bullshit elsewhere.
Damn man, you brought some serious attitude here. Take a fucking walk.
But have you considered the other platforms that aren’t GOG suck.
I want things on a platform that is either utterly unobtrusive, or useful. Unfortunately, that means either steam or GOG.
"DAE le Epic sux, right guys?"
Sorry reality gets in the way of your corporate bootlicking 🤷🏻♂️
I mean... Who is bootlicking a corporation, the guy saying people need to use the alternatives or the ones saying they only want to use one or two options?
Epic is anti-linux, so it's an immediate no from me, dawg.
Steam or GOG is the way to go for digital PC stores.
GOG doesn't have a Linux launcher either so you're already using a workaround, stop being a baby and just do the same for other launchers.
i didn't say anything about a launcher.
Maybe Steam competitors need to be fucking better then? Jesus dude. Steam is popular for a reason.
Yeah, mostly because it was the first one on the market so people started building their library there and they're too lazy to use multiple launchers and publishers would rather take the 30% hit instead of going with an option that takes a smaller cut for this reason.
Most people don't know any better and it's sad.
