Dusk: Unpopular opinion: I'd rather pay Valve 30% and put up with their de facto monopoly than help Epic work towards their own (very obviously desired) monopoly (twitter.com)

I'd be happy to support any kind of platform aiming to do these things even if it doesn't have them yet, so long as it was open source or had some kind of structure that prevented enshitification. I'd contribute, probably force myself to use it where possible much like I do with other things. The issue is that the current competition trying to do what steam does (epic) is just trying to do it but worse.
