    Fuck Epic… And while I’m here, screw Valve as well. You own nothing from all these “Leasers”. If you truly want to archive, preserve, and hand down your games in your will to future generations, you will need GOG offline installers. I burn these on to M-Disc Media that is supposed to last hundreds of years!

    I just can’t with Steam anymore… Social media is cancer, Mmos are just about preening about and showing off your fashion. Essentially all the amazing features and functionality of the Steam Client really isn’t needed for the Anti-Capitalist, grumpy old people that generally hate other people, companies, FOMO and silly achievements like I’m a fucking child again.

      Valve are good in my book for no other reason than their investment in Linux and adjacent open projects like SteamVR, but yes. They made some of my favorites games, and also ruined them so now I can’t play them. They arguably kickstarted the concept of lootboxes.

      Valve has, for all their flaws, at least done something very valuable for me. Epic has done nil and in some cases worked to make my life worse.
