Kaos for me. Will be pissed about that show being cancelled until I fucking die

Until linux eclipses it, which its not far from doing. My gaming rig is the only windows device purely because of compatibility, but I’ll be moving platforms the moment linux gets like 95% compatibility

At this point, this is just the MS gaming pipeline.

Hilarious to hear Nadella whine about Xbox performance when he is directly responsible for it going to shit. 30% mandatory profit margins was a death sentence

GUI is definitely a big reason, but features as well. Epic could make their store snappy as hell and their GUI easier to use, but that doesn’t give us controller remapping, game recording, an overlay with a web browser, per game notes, per game news, community guides, baked in mod support, performance data overlay, controller centric mode (big screen mode), and god knows theres more I’m missing.

Personally, I’d put my money on GOG becoming the real competitor over time. GoG Galaxy feels absolutely better than Epic does, and the fact it integrates other storefronts is such a major benefit that it makes it at least capable of competing with steam in the long haul. If GoG Galaxy gained all the features Playnite has, it would easily be able to compete with Steam.

Steam’s “monopoly” is purely because none of their competitors bother with pro consumer updates.

I smell future competition

My money is on Ikea acquiring the leftovers to easily set up new locations lol

This seems like the best strategy realistically. If scotus makes it everyones problem, then make it a problem for those with the most to lose from losing internet access.

Starbucks in particular would have a bad time lol
