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

The only reason anyone even knew about Prime Gaming was they pushed it with Twitch.

Valve can make some good calls, but do you guys -really- think enshittification is not coming for it ever? It's just a matter of time.

It’s weird how gamers see Gabe Newel as “their” billionaire, and valve as “their” corporation, and convince themselves that this makes it ok and ethical to be a billionaire and a massive corporation bordering on monopoly. Stop behaving like these corporations are your sports teams.
