It certainly hasn't gone without notice how many cognitively less capable people can only talk about muh steamfanboys and stockholm syndrome in threads like these instead of engaging with actual arguments who then vanish out of existence when called out on it, as if they are silently admitting that they have no actual point to make
Excellent point and I have noticed this, it's what I was alluding to in my previous post.
I think it should be noted again many of us aren't coming at this from the vector of support of Steam. I am a consumer of other storefronts than just Steam (GOG, Uplay, Battlenet). This isn't a defense of one storefront and platform.
I am deeply concerned and critical of Epic's anti-consumer actions and its implications on the PC industry. Steam has many problems but pale in comparison to the precedents being set by EGS.
This isn't a binary of either/or. This isn't a false dichotomy. I hope more storefronts come up that compete on price and service to the consumer which is REAL COMPETITION. That is a false framing to be dismissive of concerns of Epic by suggesting they are just fans of the competitions.
Fantastic post and accurate.
