    I have never bought a single game on Steam for this exact reason. I will buy from any game store except Steam.

    The service on Steam is nothing superior over others. For people that want privacy but can live with DRM, I like Heroic open source launcher for playing games on both Epic and GOG, but Heroic does have issues launching Fortnite.

      Fortnite is riddled with overreaching anti-cheat. No shit it wont run on linux.

      GOG doesn’t sell you anything more than a license, either. The difference is that you can download and keep the game forever.

      Except you can actually do that with a lot of games on steam, too. These games don’t need steam, which means you could completely uninstall steam, and the game .exe would still work.
