Steam obsessed people always cry about the lack of "features" in other stores, as if a game store + launcher needs features other than being able to buy and launch games.

Hell, I don't even want to launch games. Just let me buy and download an exe (oh yeah, GoG does that, which is why I use GoG whenever I can...)

Sucks for devs that people just won't buy their game if it isn't on Steam though :/ Idk how to change peoples' behaviour, unless Steam does something egregiously bad to users

One of those features is Proton. Thanks to Steam I can play every game I am interested in, without the need to install Windows.

GoG sometimes pushes out Linux installers that they immediately stop supporting, resulting in non-working games. Fuck that.

Your wants and needs are different from other people's wants and needs, doesn't mean other people are wrong.

The problem here is you think other stores actually let you buy and launch games reliably.

Steam is fast. Epic is slow. Epic is always asking me to 2FA to access my library of free games. Epic takes minutes to load their store homepage.
