The epic slap fight between Valve and EGS is going to make E3 even more nauseating then usual because of how many people on social media/forum are going to unnecessarily having to pick a side in the new PC market console warring. At it's core, is the actual fact that Valve is getting lazy, not policing it's fucking storefront until social media bitches about and it's algorithm is complete fucking over well meaning indie who are depending on Valve storefront to make their money (Capitalism was a mistake, as the meme goes.) the rhetoric and hot takes are going too much and they're going to make twitter/forum unfucking readable for the next month. Make no mistake here folks, there is a discussion to be had at whether Valve will retaliate against AAA developers or what ever half ass measures they're going to take to make them more appealing to causal PC users again. But holy moly, accusations from both sides about them being monopoly or money laundering operation ( There are real investgations into whether FortNite is being used to launder drug money or at least press accusations for now.) These accusation outright ignore or willfully ignorant of the fact that Google going into the console market may actually trigger antitrust investgation (if that one topic on era is to believed.)
Usual E3s are always amusing to follow and read about the next day and read the reactions of whatever is revealed. But honest to fucking god, as a PC gamer, this shitty slap fight between the two store fronts compared to how Microsoft and Nintendo are cooperating with each other on cross play (which honest to fucking god blows my pea brain away, but the love fest actually begins with Minecraft and the accursed Wii U (RIP) and the developing bromance between the two console giant might have a possibility to go further than what's going on. Comparing this bromance with this fucking shitflinging contest between Valve and EGS is honest a startling contrast and I genuinely do hope that Microsoft does take advantage of the opening being given to it due to Sony pulling out of this year's E3.
It's nice to want new AAA games to come out for Steam but honest to god, with real indies out there putting themselves out there for Steam and japanese developers still giving a fuck about Steam (the real shitstorm will be when the first japanese game comes out for the EGS imo) and also do you really think EGS is going to allow visual novels on their store front, fuck no! You'll get your games don't worry. Just do an examination on why the FOMO is leading people to do this then go on with your lives, Each of the storefront nowadays and back then have always had problems. Just the problems and the complaints were always overshadowed by hype threads for seasonal sales and what not.
