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.

There was the whole pc games are dead claims even when steam started becoming bigger.

I just don't see this utopia you believe it would be without steam. I just see me having a console and not bothering with a pc due to lack of games.

Who wants Steam gone? You can't have competition without competitors.

I want Steam to exist. And Epic. And definitely GOG. Wouldn't mind at all if GOG was the leader of that pack, or at least if Steam implemented similar policies to theirs.

What I don't want is Steam dominating 80% of the market and making it impossible to make PC games without giving them 30% of everything you make. That's bad.
