The decline of the Steam games platform is inevitable, and there are already warning signs.

I always laugh when I see so many people defend billion dollar corporation A because reasons. But billion dollar corporation B does the exact same thing offering the exact service and somehow they're the most evil thing ever invented.

Still though this article is silly.

Steam is no better than any other online games marketplace aside from maybe GOG or similar.

"Because reasons."

Fuck off. Reasons do matter. And you're choosing not to list them for 'reasons'.

While Steam isn't publically traded it's better than Epic, Microsoft, or whichever other distributor you go through as it isn't beholden to line goes up.

I'm referring to digital software in general. No matter which store you choose, they can and will take away your games at any time for any reason.
