I think people just prefer Steam to Epic or EA’s store fronts. Whenever GoG gets brought up, the only major complaint is is that there’s no official Linux launcher, even when there are Linux binaries for the games.
The idea is for games to be launcher independent/compatible with many launchers. If I wanna play a game I got on gog I could use the official launcher, heroic, mini galaxy, or I could even use no launcher and just download the game installers directly
That is so bad. They clearly don’t understand the appeal of decentralized systems…
At the same time people on here are defending the centralization of PC gaming on Steam so even fediverse users don’t understand decentralization

How do you imagine decentralized gaming? Every game comes with it’s own launcher?

The instance I’m on isn’t federated with every other instance. Why would you expect steam to effectively federate with every instance?
