I get that Steam is where everything and everyone is at. And that the user experience and functionality is best there BUT having another player to try an compete with Steam is a good thing, right?

If anyone can try, it's the Fortnite Bank.

So, why the hate?

It's a lot of cutting out for about a minute, but that's just enough to interrupt a fighting game match. If it was once per week at a predictable time, that might be okay, but it's been happening more and more lately when it used to only be on Tuesdays.

Isn't steam responsible for match making only, and the actual game company is responsible for the servers? Are you sure its not the game servers?

Either way, that would be very frustrating if its happening mid round.

Typically, when Steam handles the matchmaking, it's peer to peer. But in general, they also sort of broker the connection between you and the other player or server. Street Fighter 6 runs its own servers and matchmaking, but if Steam cuts out, I lose my connection to them.
