That's the whole problem, Epic hasn't approached the situation with the intention of being good faith competition. They have instead attempted to exclude competition by paying for platform exclusivity. That's anti-consumer. As a consumer that annoys me. GOG is competition for Steam, they offer a genuine value via DRM free versions of the same games ALSO available on Steam. That leaves the choice in the buyers hands as to which platform offers a better value. It's a big difference in my opinion.
GOG is nice, but I don't trust it because it's owned by CD Projekt
