If nothing I listed was real, it would not demonstrably exist. All those things exist. As does how much better Steam is for early access products. Developers routinely look at and reply to comments, questions, and suggestions. Yes, this is also possible on every per-game Discord server, but it highlights the extent to which Steam has ingrained itself.
Watching Epic try to buy their way into chasing them is like watching Peacock or another Z-tier streaming service trying to complete with Netflix and Amazon Prime. First mover advantage is real, and customers are spending their money with the established content providers. Anybody can use whatever "launcher" they want, but there is very little disputing what Steam does beyond being a store front and launcher. They didn't get this far by accident, and I can't even name any software from outside developers that they have paid to not appear on competing services.
Blah, blah, blah. Basically, you're a Steam dead-ender. Good to now - added to ignore.
Nope. I have no specific allegiance to Steam. I buy most of my games from legit key sellers, and I spend most of my time on consoles (want to take a guess the other thing Alan Wake 2 botched at launch?). I'm pointing out objective facts, that in the Western Hemisphere, most people play their PC games on Steam. Even CDPR, Blizzard, Sony, and the Xbox division are grasping the obvious. When the complete edition for this is bargain bin on PS5 I might get it. Haven't played Control yet, so I'm in no rush. Thank you for putting me on your ignore list, others can suffer with your empty moronic drive by posts. Have fun defying reality.

It's bizarre, but Steam have these hardcore fanboys. They don't seem to want any competition in this space at all, just for Steam to continue to take their cut of 30% for almost the entire PC games industry.

I've heard it looks real nice on the consoles with a nice TV. I'm waiting for the same with this and Indiana Jones to play at the highest fidelity.
when you play Indiana Jones be sure to download the optional 4k textures as it adds a good bit of fine detail. Hopefully they fix all the bugs by then

Great deal. This will not be on Steam during the relevant life span of the title - it is published by Epic. You shouldn't let Valve trick you into using their storefront as your launcher. Install Heroic or Playnite, manage your games through that.
Valve trucking customers?

..... Valve has made the best storefront launcher in the industry, that's why people like using it

The inability to grasp the obvious is quite astounding. The competition comes from legitimate key sellers who frequently offer lower prices, or a better price per game through bundles. Sometimes Fanatical has the lowest price. Sometimes it is Green Man Gaming. Sometimes a Humble Bundle will have the game you want, and six others, for less than the price of the individual game on Steam. If people are deliberately not buying from these sites in order to pay a higher price on Steam (nobody who knows about these sites actually does this), then MIGHT have something resembling a point. Steam sometimes has the best price during event sales, OR if the publisher offers discounts by "bundling" a new game with one you already own, which can take to 20 - 25% off of the typical price.

You people act like a Hyundai dealership is going to put downward pressure on a Mercedes Benz location.

ugg bought it when it was $20 in the last sale.. wonder if they'll ever give it away free (probably not - they'll just use it as bait to try to get people spending money on their store)

avid PC gamer for the past 15 years or so. do I primarily use Steam to play/buy games? yep.

will I pass up a good deal on a game I want, but requires clicking a button in a different game launcher? no.

steam is great, no complaints, no issues. but the manufactured outrage some games express at the pure audacity that you might have to have 2-3 other launchers to click play (or buy) on a game is ridiculous.as someone else mentioned, spend a couple hours fine tuning playnite to bring everything under one roof, including emulators/roms. it's so versatile, you can have trailers auto play, full screen mode for a console like experience, even PS5, Xbox, and Switch skins if that's your thing. I'm grateful Steam exists, and certainly the right step in the right direction vs the previous way of buying CD-ROMs and launching .exe files from your desktop- but just because they did it first, doesn't mean that other companies deserve the shame they get for simply- not being steam.

Steam is quite a bit more than a storefront and a launcher. People have 20+ year friends list, workshop support, steam cloud, community pages (though a lot of this is on Discord as well), and authorized key sites provide price competition that you won't find elsewhere.
Also, Epic has the worst customer service ever. They couldn't figure out how to change an account email that was on a domain being cyber squatted (want a laugh? Google "Rob Monster"). I just finally got back into the account in May after reobtaining my domain name for email. I would not spend another dime there, and if players only spent $255 million on third party games on EGS in 2024, than I am hardly alone. It's the "free stuff" + Fortnite Launcher.
No one uses steam friends anymore - Discord killed it. Workshop is neat but very far from essential. Steam Cloud has an epic version. community pages are nazi hellholes.

i don't think you listed anything real - Steam CS is also awful awful. The most legitimate use case one can make is 'it's easier to run Windows software on an unsupported operating system using a quasi-legal API translation layer when you use Steam' which doesn't seem.....like a good thing....to me.

I think the number of people who are actually store-partisans are increasingly few and that normal people buy a game wherever it is cheapest.
It's pretty wild people can use Steam, hop on Epic, and not see its shortcomings. I mean, hell, Epic Games even downloads games stupidly. Instead of utilizing all of your bandwith/internet speed like Steam does (so if I have gigabit speeds... i'm downloading at 1Gb/s), they download & install simultaneously. So if I'm wanting to boot up Fortnite (aka the only reason I keep EPIC) for the first time in 3 months to play with my nephews, I have to wait around a half hour on average, vs if it was in Steam, I'd have to wait 10 minutes TOPS.

Plus, people always bring up the idea that we're giving 30% of the cut to Valve, but Valve is one of few companies left in the gaming space that seems to legitimately care for its consumers AND its employees. Are you guys really wanting to give a cut to Epic Games, who is owned 40% by Tencent? Okay, you do you, then.

I have no doubt that Valve are good to their employees, did you know how insanely profitable they are? They are literally just after Tether and OnlyFans as the most profitable businesses on a per employee basis in history. More than Goldman Sachs and basically any other company you can think of. If you're wondering why games are starting to go north of $70+, Steam is a big reason for that. There's no justification for taking 30% of almost the entire games industry for a launcher and some overlays and other incremental updates.

That's an odd take, given Valve has been nothing, but relatively good towards the PC gaming industry. Despite their position, they've been a very benevolent company. This is in contrast to Epic Store, which is pure poison. Ignoring the low quality customer support and lack of features, they've literally trying to introduce "exclusives" as a competitive factor. One that has an outsized negative impact on customers, and is a competitive tool that is intended to make other platforms worse, rather than yours better.
It's the sort of competition you don't want, because if other store fronts start doing the same, we've end up with a fractured market similar to console industry. Just ask Xbox gamers how it's working out for them. That's even with the benefit of the platform holder subsidizing consoles.

I by far prefer GoG, and if you really care about positive competition, we all should support GoG more. They by far has excellent customer service, great features that are optional i.e. doesn't require their launcher and they have no DRM. Then I like Xbox, with Xbox Play Anywhere, so games work on both console and PC/Windows. Then Steam. Epic Store is not only at the bottom, but it's literally avoid by all measure and ignore games.
As gamers we deserve better than to be manipulated and tricked by Timmy. I encourage you to research more about who you're doing business with.

Feeling a little baited that no platform was mentioned for a PC title deal post that happens be Epic only and not Steam.
The game is exclusively on Epic. It was published by Epic. It'll join Steam the same day Fortnite does (never).
Which is part of the problem, because that's their goal. To money hat and force users onto their platform rather than compete based on being better.

I'm almost certain you're schilling at this point. There's a reason why there's a subreddit for /r/farkEpic that has over 50k subscriberes, whereas Steam has vastly more users and business, yet their /r/farkSteam has merely 2k subscribers. /r/farkepic is constantly getting complaints from people that lost their Epic account, because Epic constantly denies recovery even after they've proved ownership.
If Epic Store had more power in the marketplace, we'd be so much worse off in the gaming industry. Stop supporting Epic, and start supporting GoG if you want an alternative. Heck, Discord had a store too, which nobody supported and it was killed shortly thereafter. Sadly.
