"Narcissist". Would have worked better with the original name "NGames" but some chinaman stole the name before I was born and I had to think of something fast. The new name I think I named after a type of semiconductor, where the N means "negative". Then again, the N could stand for a bunch of free variables.
Honestly it's just a cool letter.

You just described something that could feasibly happen to Good "We acknowledge our current business model is unsustainable" old Games and would outright never happen to Steam because Steam just had its best financial year of all time from having no noteworthy competitors.

>Make storefront that interfaces with your steam library and can workaround launch said games without Steam
>make it use SteamCMD to run processes in the background to manage downloads
>make the GUI not obnoxiously rank dogshit
>have your own workshop or lean into scraping theirs for your players
That's all it'd take for a thirdparty launcher to immediately be more viable than EGS, GFWL, Origin, etc.

Reminder to gog and epic shills that both of your stores are failing

Except that won't do shit to my games. I have a basic level of technological literacy so I can just drop a .dll into the game folder and Valve can't do shit to it. But I guess that's too much for gogtards. They need their DRM free games spoonfed to them.

You realize that GOG will not be sending any Pinkertons to remove your pirated GOG games either, right anon? Which is exactly what your GOG games will become if they revoke your licenses. All of which also applies to Steam, btw.

Gay Ben said if Steam ever shut down they'd give everyone a chance to download all their games. And so far, based on their mostly good, but somewhat shady dealings, I believe them so far on that particular item. So at least there's that, but yea, digital only is a problem being confined to one space. We have seen console store fronts shut down, and now there is no longer access to those games.

steam literally prints monkey. It's a storefront that charges 30% PER TRANSACTION to be on there. They would be retarded to just "give up" lmao. Everyone that works for valve is a multi-millionaire. Literally they do nothing but sit around and jerk off and still make billions a year. There is no reason to quit or pull the plug on steam, no competitors forcing them to do anything. Even the half-assed hardware they shit out sells out overnight! Whatever games they do make are plastered all over the front page of their own store and even when they suck they sell amazingly well.
