Steam is still basically the only option

When cornered people finally admit that steam is a small monopoly

Steam isn't a monopoly, there are other choices but they just suck. Epic games in terms of game availability already replaces a good 80% of my active library, itch, ubisoft, ea, etc also exist but are just so bad as well.

Steam is basically the only option... That cares about gamers and actually provides a good service.

Yeah, no other company gives a fuck about linux gaming so... I guess.

You don't really have to rely on any company to play your games
