What's the headline you're seeing? (Does PC Gamer even do regional headers?) "As anger over the Epic Store subsides, what's next?" doesn't read the same as 'Epic won the war'.
The war of relevance, the war of making Steam not the only game in town, etc. etc. I wasn't saying Epic is bigger than Steam, that would be insane. I was saying the article is the opening round of capitulation to "welp we've got two of them now." I also said I'm not sure I agree, as Epic's released numbers seemed weak and Bethesda and EA are running back to Steam.
I get what you're saying, but equating something shit with Steam isn't saying it's better than it + beating it (which is how 'won the war' reads). It's silly, but it's not the same. And to be plain, Steam has plenty of woes; I'd probably keep most of my library on GOG if it had come around earlier.
Steam's greatest asset is that we're all already there (how many of you have friends on GOG Galaxy?), and as a result near everything is made with Steam in mind (plenty of games on GOG don't have achievements despite porting them from Steam to GOG probably being something an intern could do in an hour).
