Comment on Introducing the Epic First Run program

That’s not entirely true, I like GOG. But I will say that a big part of why I dislike the use of so many launchers is because 98% of my game library already exists on steam. Publishers would like to use the storefront analogy but I think that gamers look at it more like moving house, and no one likes to move house.

Also you have to consider that a lot of modern day PC gamers grew up with consoles where there are no launchers there is just the home page and the games.

That’s not to touch on the much more prevalent and important topics like privacy concerns and the like.

Eh no, it’s entirely true. We’ve a decade of data showing that almost all pc gamers will not use a storefront and launcher that is not steam. Even if you personally buy games on gog occasionally.

    You are literally the one who said that such data exists and is clearly available if some random person on the internet has examined it. You are the one making a claim, therefore it is your duty to provide evidence of your claim, which you stated is in publicly available. If you instead meant that said data is simply anecdotal data based on whatever conclusions you figured is correct, then sure, I’ll take that. Just give us a link to it.

    I didn’t say that at all, all I asked is what data you’re referencing. It’s not even in the same ball park.

    You came to Lemmy to escape people asking you to corroborate your claims?
