... and it still won't dent Steam's de-facto monopoly.

I would rather buy a game on steam, or better yet on gog, than giving my money to a company that is trying to make store exclusive games a thing.

Eventhough I adore GOG, they really need to step up their linux support, which is non-existent

Heroic launcher works well with gog and shows what games are supported.

I agree but heroic has nothing to do with gog...

Wait, I'm confused. The article is about how Epic won't take a cut to a point. Surely, you're not giving money to Epic if you buy the game on EGS?

If my purchase on Epic helps the game reach $1 million in revenue then I am giving money to Epic.
