Comment on I really need these games ported to Steam. What do y'all have on your lists?

People need to stop fighting in favor of a PC gaming monopoly in the hands of Valve. Shopping at multiple stores is more of an inconvenient than just getting everything from Amazon or Walmart, it’s still bad for consumers to only have a single source for everything.

"Fighting in favor of PC gaming monopoly"

Jesus Christ, the drama. If anything, I'm fighting for Debbie Downers like you to let me enjoy my favorite shit in peace.

I promise you when Capcom publishes Viewtiful Joe on Itch.io, I'll buy it there. Now please take your bullshit elsewhere.

But have you considered the other platforms that aren’t GOG suck.

I want things on a platform that is either utterly unobtrusive, or useful. Unfortunately, that means either steam or GOG.

    I mean… Who is bootlicking a corporation, the guy saying people need to use the alternatives or the ones saying they only want to use one or two options?

  Yeah, mostly because it was the first one on the market so people started building their library there and they’re too lazy to use multiple launchers and publishers would rather take the 30% hit instead of going with an option that takes a smaller cut for this reason.

Most people don’t know any better and it’s sad.

Wish you were not downvoted, you are expressing this view civilly. No offputting insults towards anyone who maybe has the impulse for convenience enough to post a game here thinking “it would be cool if I could open this through Steam,” but knows in practice yeah it is good there is not a monopoly and they had to get it somewhere else. (Or maybe it just released pre-Steam.) This thread turned from a quick fun discussion into “corporate bootlicker!” “Buzzkill!” really fast and I am not a fan.
