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

Epic is no "challenger", it's just another launcher, nobody would ever speak about if they weren't gifting away games and sitting on top of their engine.

Steam, as dangerous as it might be, is not just a launcher. It became a hub and social media of gaming.

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'.
