The approved competitor to a monopoly is… *checks notes* a wannabe monopoly that’s trying to buy their way into the position by providing less for the customer and instead bribing the publishers for exclusivity?
No, thanks. I would rather stick with the existing monopoly than reward Epic’s anticompetitive and anti-consumer bullshit.

Yes, I never said that they are good, just that they exist.

I guess, yeah. I will say, though: it feels morally wrong to acknowledge their existence, and thus give them legitimacy as a competitor to Steam, GOG, and Itch.
