MODERATORS
Yup, I'm with Steam because it's better, not because I like Valve or something. If someone else provides a better service for my use case (Linux with a mix of PC and handheld PC), I'll use them.
I avoid Epic on the principle of hating exclusives (I give Valve a pass on their games because they don't make many), I avoid UPlay and EA because I hate their stupid DRM, and I don't use GOG because they don't have an official Linux client and they don't support third party clients. Any of those could win by business if they catered to what I care about, for example:
That's it. They don't even need to beat Steam in terms of investing in Linux, I just want to be a first class citizen on their platform.
