      Some older games gave an old school game code to unlock the game. So some I own, but many no, and that sucks

        Thats what I like about what OP linked. But those platforms dont really incorporate all that steam does well. Making it easy to link up with friends is important. Though I have found myself using Playnite instead of Steam to browse and launch my games.

      I don’t give a shit about that half as much as their promotion of microtransactions, not to mention unwillingness to regulate third party launchers, invasive DRM, third party accounts, etc.

        Damn straight up shit I hate and didn’t think about. Fuck yeah fuck that shit. Third party launchers and accounts should never be allowed. It fucks with the experience.

            Each of those could be seen as anti competitive moves. Just because you want and like the idea, doesn’t mean they would be seen as universally good by all.

              Would you like to explain how it’s anti-competitive, or just continue making a bunch of nonsense statements?
