    Sorry! Honestly I like this loooong talk

    Maybe but why make them exclusive? Look at the recent alan wake 2. A complete flop because they released on a platform no one wants to buy and remedy recoup the dev costs from it.

    If you buy them day one on Steam doesn’t that mean you’re fine to wait and tell devs/pubs that exclusivity is good? They get money from epic for going exclusive then on Steam again, doesn’t it incentives more exclusives?

    I wouldn’t call it a “competitor”. To be a competitor you should offer something that people can like like new features or copy stuff others have and make it better, I guess? Why don’t you make something useful like helping/funding part of the handheld/linux development? Wouldn’t that be awesome instead of throwing money at will hoping to get a few users to use your (IMO) inferior platform?

    Look at what they did: bought rocket league, removed from steam (WHY?) and transformed it into a garbage shit requiring epic account. I don’t own it nor I’ve ever played it (if we don’t count the free trial downloaded somewhere).

    No, Im not gonna trust someone who does what is currently doing right now, like paying for exclusives, so if the dll method doesn’t work im gonna refund it. I don’t care how pointless that is.

    My main issue is exclusives (especially the timed exclusives from PS, but 🤷‍♂️) and also the person behind Epic. There’s nothing that makes me want to use the store or have anything to do with them.
