So you’re complaining about some phantom conversation you may have had somewhere else?
Show me where in this comment chain someone said “maybe some competition would be good” and got push back on that. Closest I see is “the competition is bad”, not “bad that the competition exists” but “it is executed poorly”.
I agree that competition is good, nobody is complaining about GoG like they do about Epic. Saying “Fuck Epic” doesn’t mean the person doesn’t like multiple platforms existing, it means they don’t like this specific platform (and they usually say the specific reasons why).
No, not a phantom conversation, a conversation I was actually having. Here. You replied to me, not the other way around.
There are, by the way, several posts in this thread literally stating, and I quote, that “ever [sic] other platform is just ass”, “even GOG, which I always shill for, has some pretty dumb faults” and “Not on Steam? (…) the seas will provide”.
Sure doesn’t sound like it’s a Epic-specific issue. Although I’d argue the Epic-specific console wars discourse is equally silly.
It’s the sheer fanaticism and the taking of sides that gets weird, considering how inconsistent it is with other narratives often held at the same time. Kudos to Steam’s PR, but man, is it weird to see happen online.

That ellipses is doing some heavy lifting for you there:
Why that’s not nearly as pro-Steam as you are implying.
Man, I knew I’d get the nitpick if I didn’t include the overlong quote. Welcome to the Internet, I suppose.
It is absolutely as pro-Steam as I’m implying and not the only quote in my post. I take nothing back and have nothing to add.
