    Then some clueless person complains that Steam dominates the market. When Epic is constantly shooting their foot.

    People like to make informed decisions and those labels help. In proper countries even beer have content labels to say if there is rice or corn with the barley.

      One can be concerned by a monopoly even when there are no bad actors. Google used to be good before it was evil, and Gabe Newell will die eventually. Consolidation of market power (Audible for audiobooks, for instance, or Steam for video games) is not ideal. It is a shame Epic is such a piece of shit.

        Indeed, but shoving Steam under the bus, instead of critiquing their “rivals” for their lack of consumer-friendly alternatives, when for the most part they’re just doing their best seems counterintuitive.
