     @lexd0g @ipg I feel like at the time they'd have just pulled their games out of Steam into their own bullshit tiny brand store so you'd still have to go through them and their launcher, like Epic did.
     
     Maybe now that so many of them failed to pull it off Steam could pull their weight to make them to quit it with the launchers.
     
     (and then they'll get sued for it by Epic :meowsip: )

     @lexd0g when are game stores gonna put limitations on whether or not you can have a bullshit extra launcher layer before playing games you buy. i feel like with a de-facto monopoly and "pls i give u 2 billion can u put jame on here" they can at least use that power to strongarm shittier devs
