Comment on Amazon made $1 billion through secret price raising algorithm -US FTC

Too many people are just lazy and complicit
You’re completely right. People suck steams dick are ridiculously hypocritical and blond.
I was mocked for defending Epic trying to compete withs steam. They’re doing great work for Devs and gamers. But sadly, blind gamers (who claim they hate monopolys) aren’t self aware enough to see the trees through the forest.
You’re right. It’s good they’re competing. But to say they’re doing a good job for gamers? The thing is horrible (atm) :
I hate steam’s monopoly. Truly. But at least they’re offering a solid framework.
Epic, just like gog galaxy, had an initially cool start and then… Nothing. All the years and they’re still as horrible as bad then. No effort. I can understand gog, but not epic.
