Epic’s game store is trash, and they fuck cleanly off with trying to fragment the PC gaming market. If they want to compete with Steam, build a better product.
You don't have to use the platform. Competition is good, and steam taking 30% is massive. I'm a huge fan of steam but the fears of what happens post-gabe should have us all wanting other companies to put pressure on them. Hopefully it'll drive them to promise continued pro-consumer practices such as proton (let's gloss over DRM)
I agree competition is good, artificial segmentation is removing choice which is anti-consumer. Steam takes 30% but provides many services and features that Epic doesn't, which is how Epic doesn't need to charge as much, so many other services they just lack. I think more providers of options are good, as long as they're not paying devs to lock games into their ecosystem. Valve had the option to lock down their VR headset to only work with Steam games, but didn't, because they generally make some pretty good decisions in favor of their customers.
I agree though about what happens to steam when the current decision makers step down, it could get really gross really quick.
