Wow, Dead Island 2 is free. Glad that I waited and didn't buy from Bill Gates.

As far as semi-new releases that are still likely selling well, probably.

Death Stranding, Ghost Runner 2, Callisto Protocol, Watch Dogs 2, GTA V, Control, Guardians of the Galaxy, Borderlands 2/Pre-Sequel, Tomb Raider and Arkham Trilogies are all other AAA standouts. Lots of smaller/indie titles I'm happy to have, too.

I think I honestly boot up Epic more than Steam these days, so it's working as far as getting people to use their platform at least.

I know a lot of people prefer to have everything in one launcher, but personally I actually find having my games spread around is a benefit, so I can share games with friends/family and still have plenty of other options that won't conflict with each other. I even run separate Steam accounts for mostly multiplayer vs single player games.

On the software side competition has been great, the hardware side with Nvidia/AMD is another story...

Nah, GTA V was. Their website couldn't handle all the people claiming it.

You do know that Steam Family sharing for the past year or so allows for friends/family to play your Steam games as long as you yourself is not playing them at the same time, unless owning more than one copy within said family

Actually I didn't know that, I'm used to the old system where the owner would boot the sharer when they accessed their library. Good to know. Although I also see that came with a caveat of one year cooldown on changing Family Share libraries so pro/con.

That is true. It's intended to not be abused. Steam family sharing is much easier to set up nowadays. Previously you had to do a bunch of bs with logging into accounts on each other's computers. Now you just send a invite and both people agree, then it works. I also think previously with the ghetto family sharing, you had to redo the logins yearly or even more often, idr. But it is very convenient for a small group

But then you have to use Epic Store. I'd pay not to use it. I guess Steam or hope it comes GoG then?

Picked this up yesterday and already put in quite a few hours. It's a little cheesy but so extremely refreshing to play a game that has carefully crafted bespoke environments versus the open world asset dump -> copy paste that's becoming so common in game design today.
Edit: Also plays pretty damn smooth at 4K on my RTX 3070, I'm impressed!
