Why do people cling onto this shitty storefront instead of freely using multiples for the games they want?
Every new game that comes out on pc is exclusive to the epic games store and the first 10 pages of any section on steam is literally filled with shovelware pixelshit and porn games.
Despite the influx of indie shovelware on the PSN store you can atleast get a curation of good games on any page you visit. It feels like Valve literally does nothing to moderate their own fucking property. just sits there and collects income from gaymer cattle

oh cool another advertising thread

Pixelshit and porn is superior to literal interactive movie ports.

It has no competition. GOG is a niche and Epic is just ass.

None of the few I though up off the top of my head are on there. When I said games only 5 people played I was being literal.

There is a request thing on that site. Never used it though so I dunno how reliable it is. Chances are they wait until a number of users request something to know if they should use server space for it.

still worth it, I use both steam and gog

using steam is a bit of a hassle so I tend to prefer games that run natively. Like if I really wanna play a certain a game I have in my library I'll go to the trouble but wow waiting for the electron app to open up, then having to shut it down so it's not in the background every time really extinguishes the vibe. Same for itch.io, though that at least has the option to download it from the site. I'm not that advanced at NixOS yet tho so I'll usually go for something already pachaged or html5 stuff.

True, but most people seeking most games won't be using it which is why Steam can afford to be shitty. It's just the behavior of monopolies in any market.

Their competition is pirating or complete junk that’s why. Not a single game store comes close to competing with steams service.

If you use humble bundle, you can link both your steam and gog accounts.
Basically only ignorant people use only steam when there's so many alternatives that provide better prices.

>why don't people use the other storefront that is actively trying to divide and privatize PC gaming even further
i havent paid for games in a long time but its pretty obvious why steam remains king

<shovelware pixelshit and porn games

ah this is a covert /v/ermin thread about how indie games are gay and porn is bad for your "soul"
