That's why people use Steam!
Steam has a whole lot of useless features compared to Epic or GOG Galaxy, it's the most bloated launcher available at the moment. Do you need cards and tradable items linked to your account to play your games?
What's funny is that if the roles were reversed Epic would be accused of trying to monetize whales and gamblers, but no one bats an eye because it's Valve doing it.

Valve is also improving overall gaming experience by supporting Linux but go off about opportunistic Tim Swiney.
You're mixing up two separate debates, we're talking about the launcher experience, not about the OS they support.
Supporting an OS is a part of launcher experience ya dingus.
It's clearly not part of this discussion because you can't compare the user experience on Linux when the product you want to compare to doesn't exist on it.
Also, you can just shut up if you can't have a discussion without insulting the people you're talking to, no one asked you to take part in the first place since clearly you're trying to derail the discussion.
Lack of OS support is not a relevant point? Utter galaxy brain take lol.
In a discussion where we're comparing the user experience of two products we need to compare them in an environment where both products are working so the user can experience them both.
I don't know how you can't figure that out but here we are.
