While I don't approve of Epic's stabs at exclusivity, Steam needs a competitor to keep it in check, and one that is making some efforts to support the preservation of art is a welcome choice.
But GOG is alresdy the Steam with Principles..
As much as I like them I don't think you can call them a competitor.
I've seen games that are available on both platforms that sell hundreds of times more copies on Steam simply because of steam's reputation.
A competitor actually has to be able to compete.
Im pretty sure gog is more popular than epic games . Alghtough i might be biased due to my country of origin.
