Acting like Steam hasnt earned it’s dominant market position is a bit disingenuous.
Steam does so much more with the platform than its competition.
No other PC game store has things like:
- clear controller compatibility information
- a TV friendly launcher
- a compatibility layer to run on Linux
- an officially supported handheld
I generally lean to GOG when the option is there myself, but there’s a clear advantage for Steam where I don’t have to fuss around to get games into a TV friendly launcher when i want to play that way. Steam just has this stuff built in.
Epic had a great deal for developers, but when buyers lose out on platform features by using alternative stores there’s no incentive to move from Steam. https://mastodon.social/@arstechnica/113012006103097834
Miguel ArrozTo the people who blindly defend the App Store should be the only way to load software onto a platform, this is the price you’re paying: innovative and honest apps made by good developers being rejected for no reason but greed.

If anyone’s interested, grabbed one of these while it’s on a pretty good discount and planning to grab the remainder later.

I bought a computer case! After being out of the gaming PCs for about a decade, I’m ready to get back in the game.
The order page at PLE has an adorable little video of some employees celebrating with party poppers. What a delight.

I’m so glad this finally exists. The process to migrate my photos from Google to iCloud a year ago was so tedious. If I wanted to maintain metadata I had to run terminal scripts and shit that most people would just never bother with and which resulted in duplicates I’m still finding every now and then.

Finished with Ys Chronicles 1. Glad I played it with a guide since it’s a bit esoteric in how you progress sometimes but was fun to bound through. Ys music is so good.
