Okay, but have EGS really improved in any significant way in the 7 years they’ve been up? I don’t see it. Plus, a smart competitor would absolutely look at Steam’s history and learn from it; they don’t seem to have done that at all.
If they had spent the same amount of money on developing the storefront that they have on exclusivity deals, EGS could have been a worthy competitor.
Check out the myriad of rom hacks out there. So many of them improve on the original games in virtually any way you can think of.
Agreed on all points. Sorry if I sounded overly antagonistic.
