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

    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.
