A gaming community free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Whether it's price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don't meet the system requirements, or just haven't had the time to keep up with the latest releases.

Can't beat the price of free. No parts of the game are missing, just for all of you patient folks.

Quick note: It is a remaster of the original game with the base game and the DLC expansions that were released for it, visual updates and a higher level cap and possible other tweaks. Some reports of stuttering and poor performance.

you’re mad that someone dared stand up to Gaben and his monopoly

And you can tell that by how much they complain(ed) about Itch, GoG, Desura, and other competitors, right?

Yup, EGS doesn't get a pass for sucking just because it's an underdog. The store experience sucks, the company behind it actively avoids supporting the Steam Deck (valid business reasons imo, but it still sucks), and they have stupid exclusives that just delay when I get to play games on my platform of choice.

EGS sucking doesn't make Steam good, it just means EGS sucks.

While GOG's client kinda sucks, it's better than EGS and their games are DRM-free. So I'll give them a pass on their client kinda sucking and not porting to my preferred platform, Linux. I'd just GOG in a heartbeat if they gave half as much attention to Linux as Steam (I don't want much, just officially endorse Heroic and/or port Galaxy).

I think out of those only GoG can be called, by any stretch, a competitor

They sure do bitch about EA and Ubisoft having their own launcher!

Funny that the services you mentioned don't try to play in the exact same playground as Steam, contrary to EGS.

Those stores don't challenge the monopoly, so they don't trigger anyone. They get praised but you'll have a hard time finding anyone who regularly uses them, let alone as their main gaming platform.
