        Yeah. Go buy hollow Knight, or schedule 1, or anything from an indie studio. Support both good devs and studios, and valve. And you even get a fun game to go with your support. Honestly, everyone wins.

        … Does anyone still wonder why I boycotted all other gaming platforms other than steam?

        You think you’re going to get anti-cheat this good from the likes of epic? Ha.

          what about GOG?

            GOG is awesome but limited - I can’t think of any modern multiplayer game sold on GOG. Lot of great singleplayer ones though.

                Much more so - I think largely because of Steam’s game server networking and update infrastructure.

                Also anti-cheats (of any sort) and DRM-free games are kind of oil and water.
