Dusk: Unpopular opinion: I'd rather pay Valve 30% and put up with their de facto monopoly than help Epic work towards their own (very obviously desired) monopoly (twitter.com)

Epic games, whether you hate them or not, is fighting the good fight. They are doing shitty things (exclusivity, etc), so maybe they aren’t the chosen one who will take challenge Valve, but they are on the right side of that fight. Hoping that Valve will stay great forever is foolish.

My dude... If you're doing shitty things, you are in fact not "fighting the good fight". if anyone is doing that it's someone like GOG.

I meant that they're fighting Valve, which is "the good fight". They're not the only ones doing it, and they're definitely not the best ones doing it, but they're doing it. If they do manage to take a big chunk out of Valve's marketshare somehow, that will be good for everyone, even people who decide to stay on Steam.

No they permanently lost claim to "fighting the good fight" when they literally bundled their software with malware.
