Valve is a private company so Gabe doesn't have anyone breathing down his neck to grow endlessly not matter the costs. Also epic refuses to add any half decent consumer features along with buying exclusivity to their platform. Sweeney is also extremely anti linux so why would I give him money.

Can you verify their training sets or do you have to take their word on it.

Is there any ethical AI, all they do is take data people posted online and then profit off it. With the original creators not getting a say if their data gets used or any profits derived from it.

It's what happens when your competition is publicly traded cancer.

It's not impossible to switch engines on new projects lots of devs have stated this. Devs have switch engines for far less or made their own.

competition is good when the rest of the competition is able or good. EGS is so shit it has to buy exclusives and give out free games and it still doesn't work. There has to be some equality in quality to have any chance of making steam better otherwise they just exist to make anti competitive moves, what is steam supposed to do? Also pay for exclusives?

Steam was great before epic and has been adding killer features since before egs came along. EGS tactics to win over steam users is to be anti competitive....

They are a monopoly because they.....provide the best most fair platform. Also why would linux users support ubisoft or epic.

When steam shuts down and we have Ubisoft and Epic to replace it with I'm just moving to itch.io and probably torrenting my steam library if it comes to the worst. Also I might actually stop playing games since steam is pushing proton development forward and without them I have no reason to play or buy anything new. Epic's shitty CEO has made toxic remarks against linux before and Ubisoft just couldn't care less. I'll support a company that supports my interests, epic doesn't so I don't simple as.

Ubisoft, Epic etc.. have done nothing to make the market better or make it more healthy. Epic is even more anti competitive than it's competition.

Well it will be a sad day and Ubisoft, Microsoft and Epic competition won't fix anything if steam goes to shit. Steam is basically the unicorn and once it becomes extinct we won't get anything half decent to replace it with. Publicly traded companies are the bedrock of unhealthy industries.

I believe it was this

The problem is that all the competition to steam is far far inferior to steam in technology and ideology and future prospects. Steam isn't a publicly traded company, has features that are pro consumers, is supporting other OS's and doesn't have a CEO that is a prick like epic.

and itch.io which is far better than GOG but even more niche.

It has corporate investors/sponsors at the gold level one of them being gambling service and the rest being mostly mobile devs. The pateron hasn't really gone up since last year.

My bad, fixed.

I usually try to edit that out but I missed it this time. I might add some rules relating to formatting and do a better job of following them myself :)

The backpedaling is going full tilt

I'm also sorry Unity I'm already deep into godot and I like it.

100 full time dedicated engineers and artists which probably the majority of them are veterans vs a mod teams team of part time students and professionals. I don't know do the skull make you look more edgey?
