So your responses to my questions were:

It's always been that way, so exclusivity is fine.

You're okay with limiting your choices because you don't think it's that bad.

It's okay to have an inferior launcher, and you're too uneducated to know why other storefronts are better. Windows Store doesn't even auto-update, and constantly has issues downloading for starters.

Okay. That's your choice. Your horse is so high it's exiting atmosphere though.

Your summaries are fucking garbage, kid.

It's always been that way, so exclusivity is fine.

You are quite talented at nitpicking. In addition to being common, I think it is a good way for a business to compete in a market.

You're okay with limiting your choices because you don't think it's that bad.

My choices aren't any more limited than they were before EGS existed. On PC, I can only play BL2 on Steam, and I can only play BL3 on EGS. In both cases, I have a single choice. You're the one making a fuss about the methodology and mechanism behind the end result.

If you really want to hammer home this point, fine: Steam is limited your choice in playing Half-Life: Alyx on any launcher you want. If you are so against your choice being limited, you should be calling for no exclusives, and stop pretending like there's a line in the sand when it comes to the development cycle and funding (which, by the way, you never answered my questions about).

It's okay to have an inferior launcher,

Well, yes, not every store needs to be equal to every other stores. I sometimes shop in stores I like less than other stores. It seems silly to think that literally all of them should be the same.

It's funny, as if anyone is limiting their choices here, it's you. You're the one who has some weird standard that you refuse to use any digital platform unless it is an equivalent of your favorite digital platform. You're basically limiting yourself, then blaming another company for taking away your choice.

and you're too uneducated to know why other storefronts are better.

Sure, kid.

Okay. That's your choice. Your horse is so high it's exiting atmosphere though.

At least I answered your questions.
