I mean, I'm pretty pro-steam myself but competition is always a good thing for consumers. There are plenty of features that Steam users have been asking for for years and maybe another competitor in the desktop marketplace can light a fire under them, so to speak.

That's the whole problem, Epic hasn't approached the situation with the intention of being good faith competition. They have instead attempted to exclude competition by paying for platform exclusivity. That's anti-consumer. As a consumer that annoys me. GOG is competition for Steam, they offer a genuine value via DRM free versions of the same games ALSO available on Steam. That leaves the choice in the buyers hands as to which platform offers a better value. It's a big difference in my opinion.

GOG is nice, but I don't trust it because it's owned by CD Projekt
