It’s funny because there’s this function on Epic where you can enter a code and it claims a game on it… Oh and will you look at that, they have something called Mod Interface… It’s as if you didn’t know what you’re talking about…

How many games support those mods and how many mod makers publish their mods to Epic over steam?

Heck, I give you an example of Steam manipulating prices, which goes against consumer interests, and you just skip right over that, funny how that works, right? How about developers interests then? 30% cut vs 17%? No guaranteed income for devs vs exclusivity contracts that guarantees an income to small devs thus making sure they actually stay in business?

They don't have to sell on Steam. PC is an open game platform where you can install software from any source and run it. If I was a store I wouldn't want stuff being sold elsewhere for less, sell it there then, I don't wanna have to sell it for more, you sell it for more. I love the switch from publishers to developers here as if there is any trickle down. Fuck the publishers that never share any of the money with the developers anyway. Next you'll tell me Epic doesn't treat their devs like shit making them work loads of mandatory crunch.

I hope so, you seem to know some funny people.

It sure is, maybe you should go play those free games instead of simping for a multi-billion dollar company that treats the poor devs you just want to get paid like shit.

As if you're not simping for a multi billion dollar company with shitty practices yourself 🙄

Moving the goalpost are we?

I'm not making Valve out to be better than they are, you've never said I am wrong about any of my claims for what Steam does. This means on some level you recognize that Steam is a capable system. That it does have linux support, big picture, remote play, workshop, cards, points for avatars/profile stuff, and it's on economy for items. You'll drop points left and right like you stopped talking about Steam being a monopoly despite having less dominance than Windows. Yet EGS only really works natively in Windows. Valve is no shit one of the biggest players in challenging Windows as a monopoly through the Steam Deck and why Linux moved to 3% of the userbase.

Not moving the goal post as much as talking about how it realistically works while you conflate existence with availability. You can tell me it has mods but if it doesn't have mods like the workshop it doesn't REALLY have mods. That's like saying American's have healthcare when we both know there are a few asterisks involved with that statement.
