I get that Steam is where everything and everyone is at. And that the user experience and functionality is best there BUT having another player to try an compete with Steam is a good thing, right?

If anyone can try, it’s the Fortnite Bank.

So, why the hate?

    I mean… Do you support the recent proposal to ban online porn? How about alcohol?

    Valve provides a game, an appropriate age rating, a description of the monetization scheme, and a way for users to freely trade items.

    If minors transform that into a gambling addiction, it’s certainly a big problem, but I don’t see how that translates into “Steam bad, Epic Games good”

      No, but that’s another subject. Not easy to regulate and is not as life threatening as many other things. We all consumed some when minors and it never was a huge deal for most people. Gambling is much worse imo, as it impacts your finance. Gambling is already banned/regulated and Valve is avoiding the current laws.

      How about alcohol?

      It’s already pretty well restricted for minors. The world would be better without it, but as nicotine, can’t go back now that people are used to it.

      but I don’t see how that translates into “Steam bad, Epic Games good”

      Never said that.

      I talked about this because the original comment said Valve wasn’t here for money. Why do they push gambling then?
