The Unreal series may have been shelved years ago, but Epic is letting its first two installments live on through the Internet Archive.

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.

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.
