Oh for fuck sake, why you guys keep doing this to yourself is beyond me. I just want to say that new thread is coming, so for the love of god, leave this discussion about stores here and move on. There is nothing to add, except a reminder of the fact that in those threads people discussed games from other platforms and people always freely expressed their frustration with those other platforms as well, but nobody gave a damn before.
Honestly, it's really sad that we reached that state when a disagreement with each other now can lead to such controversies. Personally, I appreciate Dan's and everyone else opinions on games regardless of the store and my preferences, I usually don't reply to them, but after this, I think this silent approval is not enough anymore because some people can see only negativity toward platforms and get the wrong idea.
Just a quick example, I downloaded Apex Legends precisely because of impressions from people here, and I haven't launched Origin for a long time and wasn't initially going to bother at all, and considering that games on EGS are still coming to Steam later giving impressions about their exclusives is not a bad thing either. Again, everyone should understand that posting their opinions here about any game on any platform is welcome, but you always need to expect that other people will express their position about the platform as well, especially if you came with "I know no one cares since it's exclusive, but still...". I mean come on mate, maybe that's because English is not my native language and I read in everything too much, but that's not the best way to just share an opinion about the game you liked and don't want to bring the discussion about why you think people won't care.
