How to explain Steam's success on PC for console players: "Think of it like the X1 vs PS4 era. Steam is the PS4 and every competitor was the Xbox One"

That's far to generous to other companies, they were far more like the WiiU.

Finally someone with a voice said it.

Epic gives so many games away, but their launcher and store are so bad that I don't even play their free games.

I don't care if Uni wants to run a store. But forcing me to use their store when I buy the game on steam is pretty af. So I don't play Ubi games either.

Their shit launcher made the games run worse.

In present day. I dont want to use Windows. So I simply cannot play much if the new games from the other shit companies because they have some vendetta against Proton / Steam Deck.

Now they're literally doing it to themselves.

If I could testify for Valve as a customer I would.
