Comment on Epic Games Store will get a Linux version sometime "soon"

I guess that’s cool but Epic Games will still be at the bottom of my list of game/app stores that I use.
For context, I’ve been using a chart of game/app store with scores based on multiple categories and sorting them into a list to keep track of which ones I should be prioritizing. With on how I currently have them rated, the Epic Games Store will go from a 1/10 to a 4/10, which means that it’s still at the bottom of my list.

Where’s GOG on that chart? How would you compare it to Steam?

Both GOG and Steam are tied near the top of the list with 9/10 scores.
But I should mention that since the chart was made specifically for my own personal use, it may not be the best for public use (which is why I haven’t posted it online anywhere). If I am to have it posted anywhere, I’d want to make some adjustments like giving certain categories more weight and expanding some others, maybe even add more. I probably wont though, as I’m just one person and I know for sure that my own biases will get in the way.

Isn’t that how all good charts start out? One opinionated person makes a list of what makes sense to them and maybe attaches a methodology for how they arrived at the order or points.
In my book, GOG would be 10, but I have never purchased a game through them, so it seems they’re not perfect after all. I wanna give steam less points cuz they are only dealing in licenses, so besides Gabe & SteamOS, they feel no better than Epic.
So maybe Steam is a 7 for me, and GOG is only ideally a 10, but in reality I paid them as much as I have Epic ($0).

I guess your right, I might relearn HTML so I can open another website through neocities. I used to maintain a website under a different name there but I deleted it, thinking that I wouldn’t use it again. I would just post it to Odysee (the Youtube alternative) since they have more than just videos but I don’t know if they’d allow me to link to websites like Nutaku.

I’ve done it. I’ve create my website and finished creating the page dedicated to game and app stores. It took longer than I was expecting but it’s in a good enough shape that I can fix any issues with it and add some more stuff to it tomorrow. I’ve also changed how I rated every app store, GOG is now 13/15 and Steam is 12.5/15. Here’s the link to the home page. I’m going to bed now.
