Epic Games Store giveaways result in huge Steam sale spikes as PC players would rather pay to use Steam than use Epic for free.

Pointless to try competing? I guess we’d know if there was ever a real competitor on the field.

There’s GOG, there’s Itch.io. What’s wrong with them?

GOG recently got on my radar since I heard they’d be focusing more on Linux support

Even if GOG gets Linux support it won’t make the devs come there.

I don’t mind not having large games, even if it ends up being an indie fest I’d be very content with that

Indies don’t release there either. I wrote about an observation in this comment thread - small devs are no longer releasing their games outside of Steam because they need all sales to go into one pot - if they split it between stores they rank lower in the only store that matters.
