re: this article.

The title is a joke. “Free, but you have to make an EGS account” is a bit too rich for me.

    You aren’t even arguing about exclusivity to a platform, you are arguing about the layer of download management software that installs the same files to the same computer.

    Exactly. You are arguing about “exclusivity to a platform is bad because monopolies” but somehow exclusivity to the download management software, something that there is no good reason for, is good?

    It’s the stupidest fanboyism I have encountered in all my years of paying attention to videogames for fun and profit.

    “I don’t like this specific company because of these things that they do” is the opposite of fanboyism. The only fanboyism is you ranting for post after post trying to argue that EGS’s anti-consumer practices are “good actually because everyone chooses to use Steam so that makes Steam bad.”
