It's also an argument for Steam pioneering an awesome new service model meaning it's less of a mistake and more a step in the right direction, but not perfect yet. That's why I brought that up.

None of Steam's service model is predicated on the things I'm complaining about. There's no reason why GOG could not have come first.

Steam's DRM is the issue and you don't need DRM to have widespread sales or digital distribution (as GOG itself proved).

And I was pointing out that opinion or not it's a spurious conclusion. You're free to have that opinion and I'm free to criticize it. Do you think that this is a safe space where opinions are immune from criticism just because they've been labelled unpopular from the start?

This is a really facile criticism, though, because you're saying "You don't know that's going to happen", which is something that can be said of any prediction of future events.

If someone says, "I think the Flames are going to win the Stanley Cup this year" and someone responds, "You can't know that", it's true, but also kind of stupid given the subject material.
