The problem is not gamers but game developers/publishers.
I found myself a handful of times trying to get a game from GOG or Itch.io before realising I wasn’t writing the game’s name wrong, just that they didn’t bother publishing it in other platforms but Steam.
PC gamers are generally much smarter than console gamers. If Valve falls to enshittification like every single one of their competitors, we’ll figure it out. I damn sure don’t want to see that happen and it doesn’t look likely any time soon. They’re the last company out there actually making pro-consumer decisions. Valve has built decades of trust and they know how valuable that is.

Yeah, seems like square enix also avoids the platform completely, which is a shame.
if steam goes to shit the games will go on these platforms. hopefully theyll survive til then if that happens and not turn to shit themselves.

PC gamers and console gamers are one in the same now. There’s just as much blind consumerism on both platforms.
