    They probably will when the steam store turns to shit, valve stops supporting Linux and making hardware they want, stops doing family sharing, and pretty much removes everything from the steam client except the store.

    You have to admit, valve has a pretty good reason to be liked by consumers.

      Valve only has a good reputation because for generations of G*mers it’s the default option.

      They have been indoctrinated into Steam’s system.

          By striking exclusively deals with publishers for digital distribution and using it for DRM for physical releases.

          And now the generation that allowed that say to the next that Steam is the default.

            Yes because before steam this never happened. Ever. They are the worst, oh hello Epic, Sony, Microsoft, Nintendo, didn’t see you there.

      Lots of holiday deals, fair regional pricing, massive open-source contributions, hanging back from making era-defining, envelope-pushing games to just make the gaming industry on PC better.
