Hopefully it's also Monday for the mods
What's the centre square? I don't recognise that one.

Speculation: physical media.
I'd swap EA and Ubi. EA is as bad as Ubi AND has the tendency to take beloved franchises and kill them. Definitely Chaotic Evil. A tumor on the games industry.
I’d say swap ubi with epic first. Epic is evil while Ubisoft is just incompetent. Then you can swap epic up to the top or whatever.
Let's face it, all AAA publishers are chaotic evil at this point.
No, Ubi is evil. Ubisoft heads believe you have no rights to the game you bought. None whatsoever. Yves has the biggest hardon for cloud streaming you've ever seen, because it means a perpetual revenue stream for him, and zero control for you.
Guys guys guys, chill, they can all be evil and you can add Bobby Kotick controlled Activision-Blizzard to the evil list as well as most of the games industry and tech sector once they get past a certain size.
Ah yes, the same Bobby Kotick who had a long relationship with Jeffrey Epstein in mails where they talked about using micro-transactions to indoctrinate children into capitalism.
Epic takes less cuts from games than anything else and has fought against monopolies on mobile devices
They fought against those “monopolies” because they were pissed they couldn’t get a piece of the pie. There are so many emails from Sweeney that came up in the Apple court case showing that he’s a huge piece of shit who would do anything to get the giant cut of the pie. If he could have that monopoly on mobile devices he would, he’s not fighting for the consumers, he’s fighting against Apple and Google because he wants the money.
It was actually a tough choice but I went this way because EA systematically kills franchises while doing good things once in a while and I don't think Ubisoft know what they're doing. I would also put Epic on evil side but comparing to these 3, they seemed not as evil.
Also not to forget: "Why EA is the worst gaming company in USA? Because Ubisoft is in France."
Valve not being dickridden for once? I'm breathing fresh air and I'm loving it.
Well, they set the balance, for now at least.
Personally, I'd swap Steam and GOG
GoG openly uses genAI... I would put them somewhere on evil.
That would also work though I chose the good side as DRM-free side, mostly.
Fair
Thr functional monopoly does not get to occupy thr "good" column judt because gamers can't help but fall, hungerly, on billionaire Gabe Newell's crotch.
