Your not wrong, but I just dont get the feeling that epic is going to transition towards actually being a competitive store. This is entirely my own myopic gut feel, not based on any facts.
I don't know that anybody is, and that's concerning, no matter how satisfied with Steam's service people are.
I'd prefer GOG to climb the ranks, but since I also wouldn't want them to abandon the DRM-free mandate, I don't see that happening, either.
Honestly, I agree, unless steam aggressively enshittifies themselves, I dont see any rivals catching up either. They are so far ahead, and so far, haven't started screwing their customers.
And gog selling out to climb doesn't really solve anything.
