So... Does this mean that Rockstar concedes on having their own launcher? It certainly don't make much sense to give away San Andreas on your own store and V on the competition.
... Unless they have the same opinion as I do (I tried, but V was just a bunch of samey missions with some cutscenes of unlikable characters to me). But that's not very likely
Also : gotta love the reactions here. It's not like their launcher is worse than origin, uplay or whatever Rockstar had, but the hatred to epic is so ingrained in some people's skulls that you almost have to admire the stubbornness.
Almost. If I'm honest, I just pity them. But ey... Just my opinion,y'know.

There are very few legitimately good things about Steam that make it "better" than other store fronts. The chat feature and the controller mapping are the only things I find to actually be good. The community section isn't really any better than other forums, and a lot of sites let you make groups, share screenshots, etc. Just about every feature of Steam can be done externally (even the controller mapping via programs like antimicro).
Rather ironically considering my stance, but I do have a very good argument : Proton. Valve has brought around 6'500 games to Linux with it, which is no small feat.
But again : I'll easily reboot into my windows partition if it means playing great games for free.
