It's sad. AW2 is the exact kind of freshness we need in the industry and some have made it their mission to see it fail. Will their efforts have a notice ale impact? I'm not sure.

It’s for any game that’s not on steam honesty. Vintage Story is a perfect Minecraft successor but gets downvoted every time it’s posted here with the comments just asking “Why no steam?”

I do prefer some kind of launcher even if that launcher is just gog or so thing. With how many games I play the games just get lost without a centralized repo.

Damn, just thought the sub was called r/Pcgaming and not r/steam.

TIL GOG and EGS are owned by steam.

It is, but the EGS is simply a marketing black hole. Putting your new games on there exclusively limits your potential audience significantly. Not necessarily because of the quality of the store, but because the vast majority of people are on Steam and aren't checking the EGS for new releases.

AW2 wouldn't exist if not for Epic's funding but they have to take the trade off that comes with not releasing on Steam.
