I did not realize they were trying to compete in the first place.

    I’m one of them. For all their trash talk about Steam being a monopoly, Epic Games sure pulled some hypocritical, anticompetitive shit in their attempt to replace one monopoly with an objectively worse, consumer-hostile one.

      Epic Games is creating a monopoly in PC gaming - they keep making bad decisions and leaving Steam as the only good option

        Look at market shares, Steam is in a monopolistic position, they can turn around and fuck up the whole market whenever they want, and people like you are encouraging it.

        You realize that they’re anti DEI over there? I don’t think drag would ever be hired by Valve!

            They wouldn’t even release a statement about George Floyd because it was too divisive for them, they instead gave 10k to each employee to spend on whatever they wanted, which might just as well have been BLM or a white supremacist group, they didn’t check!

                You should watch the whole thing, it would be very eye opening

                Considering the amount of time you spend on here I’m sure you’ve got the time to spare anyway.
