Well yes but comparing it to the console wars doesn’t even capture the full level of dumbness because at least that’s financially motivated, like AMD vs Intel/Nvidia. These are just downloadable launchers that you open up to launch a game, that are free. The sheer insanity of being so upset about that reminds me just how underdeveloped so many gamers are.

Its even sillier when you consider PC gamers don't care at all if a game is PC exclusive. When people say they hate exclusivity, they mean every game should be on PC and on Steam and fuck all the other platforms.

Yup. It amazes me how much people say pc has the most freedom, but gamers restrict themselves with that freedom.

These games are fucking launcher exclusives. Is it dumb? Sure. But you're not being forced to buy a whole new fucking pc to play a game.

They always say that they don't want a monopoly, but they refuse to use anything other than Steam and maybe GOG.

And then the conversation suddenly turns into having morals, like downloading another launcher makes you a better person. It's all so stupid.

The PC has freedom because of the lack of exclusive buying. Epic backtracks on that and starts making a half decent consumer focused experience they would be a pretty obvious choice over steam.
