    Oh no! Having to check reviews elsewhere! The agony! How did people live before Steam having reviews on their platform? 😱

      Okay, so where do I go to leave a review on steam for a game that I've played on the epic store, smart ass?

        What?

        That's completely idiotic.

        Leave your reviews wherever you want and check your reviews wherever you want, there's tons of websites to do so, you don't need to leave your reviews where you own the game.

        Fucking hell, what you guys want is for Steam to have an absolute monopoly over everything related to PC video games! Here's hoping no one ever takes the helm off Valve and makes decisions you disagree with because we'll be stuck without any alternatives if it were only for you guys!

        How old is Gaben? 60? He's obese and has been for ages? Yeah bud, I don't want to be a bringer of bad news but I wouldn't expect him to be in control for the next 15 years!

          You literally can't leave a review on steam unless you purchase the product. So your solution for me is to rebuy a game I already own just to leave a review? You don't even know what you're talking about. Enjoy your devil's advocacy because that's all it is.

            Is Steam the only place you're able to leave a review? The answer is no. Just leave your reviews elsewhere.

            That's probably the worst argument you could come up with.

              So your solution for a massively profitable company that's laying off employees, is to instead of implementing a feature the user's request, just shirk the paying customers desires and leave it up to some third party website? What if I don't want a review of the game in general, what if I want a performance review of the game as it runs through that specific launcher? I don't believe that you believe that review sections in stores aren't useful. I think you're just being a contrarian. And I think it's very strange You're going to bat so hard for a company that doesn't give two shits about you, but have fun with all your disagreeing with everyone I'm sure you're getting quite the high.

                You mentioned having product reviews as a "basic feature" they should be working on instead of laying off employees, I'm pointing out how ridiculous it is to consider that a necessary feature and how ridiculous it is that you're complaining that you can't leave reviews on Steam unless you own the game there when there are plenty of other places where you can leave your reviews.

                I'm only disagreeing with people who have idiotic arguments against a product I consider perfectly acceptable.
