Epic often get games to go totally free. Sometimes, they even are worth the price.

Steam: Good featureset, good Linux support, large library, probably going to be around in 10 years.
GOG: Offline installers, some explicitly DRM-free stuff.
What does Epic bring to the table?

What’s a Matrix?

Matrix Games. They’re a publisher that specialize in wargames that I frequent to get some of my more-serious milsims from (though availability has improved on Steam). They also run an online store. The above three stores are the only places that I’ve bought video games for a long time. Well…tries to remember actually, I did get a few things on itch.io, and IIRC I bought Starsector directly from the company that makes that.

Oh it’s Slitherine’s own launcher you meant. That was a nice piece of software as well, you’re right.

If it brought a big picture mode with controller navigation that wasn’t irretrievably broken, that would be an improvement.
Steam’s website design generally is so bad, and when you then add big-picture and controller it’s “I can’t believe it’s not a teenager’s first web project” bad.
Stram has a lot going for it, but don’t pretend it’s perfect.
