I get that Steam is where everything and everyone is at. And that the user experience and functionality is best there BUT having another player to try an compete with Steam is a good thing, right?

If anyone can try, it’s the Fortnite Bank.

So, why the hate?

    Gamers act like Gabe Newell is a god, when he’s just a billionaire that charged them more than he needed to, like all the others.

      Newell is a billionaire like all the rest at 3.5B, but Sweeney is our savior fighting the good fight at 4.5B. Okay /s.

      I don’t root for any rich guy over another, but I do think competition is the best way you’re going to keep them in check for a commodity market with little regulation, at least.

      On that front the cultish adoration of Newell and all the actively rooting for a Steam PC gaming monopoly is… worrying.
