alright, lets compare game platforms(this may contain Opinions).
Steam, probably the only good platform on here(also some stupendous features like a clock/alarm,note taking,browser,etc), but people should remember they are a monopoly(not the worse monopoly i have seen, look at something like Google or Microsoft), and they are still AAA company(Gabe Newell is a billionaire and the 106 richest man according to Forbes).
GOG(why is it not being shown in the meme), Dont like their stance on being Pro-AI(if the LLMS was only used on One banner or smth or it had a fair reasoning, i would have been content with LLM usage.) and subpar features(maybe?),no DRM guarantee is nice.
but i like their program where they make older games Legally playable(IIRC Steam used to do the same?).
Ubisoft store,EA Store,Epic Games Store,Microsoft Store(due to Xbox logo),itch.io. they all have subpar features, and am pretty sure itch.io has more of a focus on UGC content.
Console(Playstation,Nintendo,Xbox): I personally dont like the Video Game choice, and paying for a sub to play online.
i know there is stuff like DLSite aswell,but i never used them(the only Video Game franchise i know that sells there is Touhou Project)
i like their program where they make older games Legally playable(IIRC Steam used to do the same?).
The big difference between Steam and GOG here is Steam will happily host older games but doesn’t seek them out. GOG actively seeks out older games that aren’t published anymore and tries to get the right to distribute them, and patches them in various ways for modern hardware.

Steam and itch.io are the only ones that treat Linux users as first class citizens.
Steam, itch.io, and GOG are the only ones that offer any Linux games at all.
