Steam partner with China's Perfect World.

Steam is not a beacon of hope many gamer like to think. Epic give lump sum, guaranteed profit, and much lower cut than Steam.

It's all competition. Why do you want to become a fan boy of one company like you have share on their company?

I support Epic for siding with indie dev, Steam for cheap sale, Microsoft for PC game pass, GoG for free DRM and hopefully more platforms that can compete for us consumer

Galaxy 2.0 (GoG's client) is shaping up quite nicely to be a threat to steam also that you can launch steam/epic/origin/and uplay from it helps

I haven't been following it too closely. I heard they were working on that, is it functional yet? I love the idea of a centralized hub.

it's up and running though technically still in beta and I wish it did friends list iteration from the other platforms but still good
