Yes, and even with Valve doing some great things for gaming, it's important to note that we all will benefit from Valve having meaningful competition from Epic and GOG. If gamers spread their money around, service providers will do more to earn it.
Agreed!
Also worth pointing out:
Epic Games is American, and also privately owned, like Valve.
GOG is a subsidiary of CD Projekt, which became a publically traded company in 2009... but it is based in Poland, the EU, which has much more regulations in place that help to temper the pure insanity lust for maximum profits now! that American public companies have.
