    Fuck this platform.

    Fuck mandatory DRM.

    Fuck the garbage runtime that takes minutes to start every time I wanna play a goddamn single player game.

    Fuck mandatory updates every time I want to play a goddamn single player game.

    Fuck popup advertisements for events that reappear year by year no matter how many times I’ve disabled them

    This platform prevents you from owning anything…

    I don’t know how anyone could support this garbage.

      If like you say Steam is only garbage, make a list of good alternative.

      • Epic Game (worst)

        • Launcher -> horrible and worst than Steam. Actually you can use heroic games launcher (less problems)
        • Store -> really bad
        • DRM
        • Need update to play game
        • Only Windows / Mac (i don’t care about mobile for the small amount of game)
        • Not version for Linux and Tim Sweeney not like Linux and say a big amount of stupidity.
        • Doesn’t have all the tools and feature for dev like Steam
        • No Workshop alternative
      • Gog (need more game and feature)

        • Gog galaxy (latest test in 2022) -> good launcher but no Linux version
        • Games for Windows, Linux, Mac
        • Not all game can be found here because it’s only DRM free game
        • Doesn’t have all the tools and feature for dev like Steam
        • No Workshop alternative

      From what i can see, Steam is not perfect but it’s better than Epic for sure, and have more feature and game than Gog. I don’t include itch because for me it’s not a gaming store.

      If anyone have another store, or want to correct anything.

        Gog could use more games but if it’s between using a platform that forces you to use a runtime and nothing at all, I’d much rather play nothing at all.

          I don’t want Gog to change in order to have more games in its store. In fact, I have a lot of games on Steam because of the simplicity on Linux and I don’t want Gog to become like Steam, I want a DRM-free alternative.
