      Anger has subsided because Epic has paused it's publisher bribery campaign. If @TimSweeneyEpic wanted platforms working together, he'd use his immense wealth to back @GOGGalaxy instead the @EpicGames Store. Put his money where his mouth is. But he isn't and that speaks volumes.https://twitter.com/pcgamer/status/1231028348215844865 …

      Why isn't anyone talking about Steam taking 30% of all the PC games of the world by doing 0.1% of the work?? WHY DOES EVERYBODY SEE TIM AS THE BILLIONARE BAD GUY AND DON'T REALIZE GABE IS THE KINGPIN HERE? Support Tim until power distributes a bit, it benefits us all.

      Solid point, and it seems that the author of this article as well as many people in general fail to see that point. It seems deemed more impactful to join in the general chorus of "Epic bad" than "what base monopoly does it disrupt?" However, there are solid critiques to be had

      For one, GOG Galaxy seems like a good idea. Concurrent with this, Sweeney, as far as I can tell, wishes for more open APIs to be shared between all platforms.

      However, he still has to move forward in terms of business. Should more be done to push for open API? Yes. Does creating a substantial competitor move the world more in that direction? Probably.

      One important aspect is even with GOG GALAXY, this does not break up the Steam integration for achievements, inviting of players, and similar. It does not actually solve the problems of missing APIs but rather introduces another system on top of the others, controlled by GOG.

      So, while good, this does not fully solve the issue of disparate platform and game integration, and rather acts as a bandaid controlled by Yet Another Entity. It disregards the core problem that, afaik, Sweeney has made mention of. Perhaps he could push more strongly for this.

      Exactly this. Moving from the dreadful state of ecosystem interoperability that existed in 2017 and making it better, one step at a time. It’s better now in early 2020, but it was a ways to go, and some parts are going to be two steps forward and one step back.

          My thoughts are that Tim is his own worst enemy. What he's been doing is cool, trying to bring down the store share which is insane, trying to improve the ecosystem... but his PR is awful, always throwing more gasoline into the fire :(

          Sometimes you gotta let the haters burn themselves. Seriously, EGS has it's share of issues, but it's software. It takes time to get things right, especially when it has to disrupt established industry practices. Half the people throwing a fit have never designed software.
