There should be case studies about the ineptitude of competing stores. A small handful aside who have found a niche and serve it well (itch.io and GOG come to mind) the other stores just dish out a store front that is under-cooked for what is there and lacking features beyond that and then are surprised when people prefer Steam.

For example I’m not aware of a Workshop style system in any other store, so any game that features community made content will be a better experience on Steam.

What surprises me is that when windows is faster the difference isn’t that significant but that when Linux is faster it’s by a lot.
For example 59.1 vs 59.8 FPS in Borderlands isn’t that significant of a difference but 52.4 vs 44.6 FPS in Cyberpunk certainly is.

Really makes you wonder just how badly Microsoft fucked up Windows for things to end up like this.

He is and I distinctly remember one clip where he bragged that his game was piracy proof because the save system uses steam achievements. Conveniently ignoring the fully working steam backend emulators out there used to run every game whose sole DRM is the Steam Store.

It is deeply ironic just how entrenched in corporate BS this guy is while naming his channel Priatesoftware. I would laugh if it wasn’t so harmful to this endeavor.
