I love this green text because valve really just be doing the bare minimum most of the time but everyone else is just so shit in comparison

I feel like GOG deserves at least some respect. They don't have a perfect track record, by any means, but I find them at least reliable, decent sales, have gotten some fun freebies out of them in the past.

And, hey, shopping cart. Which shouldn't be a selling point, I'm fucking flabbergasted that it came to this on any platform, but that's another point above EPIC.

I can't wait for the inevitable clusterfuck from Sony making PS+ sub mantatory to play their PC games online.

I don't think they're that dumb, I can see them making their own launcher with PS+ sub to get free games or something like gamepass, but locking online play behind a paywall on PC sounds too braindead even for them, it'd be an even worse PR suicide attempt than Epic's exclusivity shenanigans.

Sony has a long history of braindead decisions that have fucked over their user base.
