Quoting: FaattoriEverything started to consistently break after Epic bought EAC.
I'm SURE that's just a coincidence..

Sounds like a lot of changes are on the way for Valve's Artifact

Valve. Can you make a proper game too please? Seriously it's been a long time, we want a proper AAA Valve game. :<

It's pretty simple for me.

I already have a Steam account.

I already have over 200 games in Steam.

I have no desire to see Steam suffer, because any threat to Steam is a treat to my game library.

Steam is run by Valve. Valve heavily supports Linux, more so than any commercial entity would while thinking rationally and I am infinitely grateful to them as a result.

Exclusives aren't competition, exclusives are the opposite of competition. I refuse to be forced to use a platform due to exclusives.

I wouldn't buy a game from a store that doesn't even have a native Linux client, even if I was interested in shopping elsewhere.

What cut Valve takes from devs is irrelevant to me, as Steam's prices are usually better than what I get in retail stores, they run frequent specials with great discounts.

Steam's service is fantastic imo, and I am not on board with the mindset of 'Everything needs to be redesigned every 2 years to stay cool', that's not actually user friendly at all. If something is already great, it doesn't need to be redesigned, it just needs to be refined and Valve have been refining Steam for a decade. It's almost perfect the way it is.

Fortnite needs to die as soon as possible to cut off Epic's source of revenue, I can't believe I use to think they were an OK company.
