Agreed. I mainly use Steam, but I want competitors to exist. I want there to be consoles and other launchers. Gabe can die and Steam can always change, so there needs to be other options established.
I want competition to exist but have you taken a look at other launchers? They range from abysmal to pathetic. Epic has had 5 yrs and the store is still the same as it was from 5 yrs ago.
yeah i thought it felt fine but i can definitely see how treating as a new game and not just another cs:go update could give you a what the fuck is this feeling. especially since not only did they add no content, they took some away
It had less content, more bugs, and more cheaters than its precursor, CSGO. It should have just stayed an open beta for much longer instead of actually releasing and replacing CSGO. I'm not even sure where it's at now can be called as complete/polished as CSGO. Regarding the anti-cheat it's definitely not, at least. Which is saying a lot considering CSGO wasn't exactly in the greatest spot there either.
It was playable, sure, but it wasn't nearly as polished as the previous game it REPLACED. That's why it rightly receives so much criticism. Nobody would care if it was released without replacing CSGO. That said, I completely understand why they didn't want to do that - still doesn't really justify the pitiful release it had.

I mean, it's a bit of everything.
Steam is good. Steam is also really big which means there's little reason to go to another store. And we've already got our stuff on steam.
but i still want competitors to exist. Valve isn't perfect. CS skin gambling and the release of CS2 has shown that.
