This is so accurate it hurts.. If EpicStore provided a better service instead of buying developers to force their game into their platform with exclusivity deals people wouldn't be so mad at them right now..

The issue is extremely complicated.
On one hand its amazing for developers, but its a train wreck for the consumer.
Spyware, password loss, lack of features, and exclusive bullying. Not to mention, Epic has an amazingly terrible track record of customer support.
Am I the only one who doesn't see a difference between what Epic is doing and what Steam was doing when it was starting up... before, you know, they nearly monopolized the market?
Epic even admits that it's unsustainable right now. This is a gambit to gain market share then they'll raise rates later. I hate the narrative some are pushing that they are "the good guys" "saving us from Steam". It's just a strategy, it's the Walmart strategy really.
"I could write a looong rant about the whole Epic stuff but" I WONT.
thats the most legitimate reason someone gave about epic situation i saw.
And that says a lot about the whole thing :D
So ... its a release scheduled half a year later, outrageous.
Jim Sterling said it best: Epic's methods are morally reprehensible and underhanded, but from a business perspective they're doing the objectively correct move, and in fact, the only correct move, to try to break Steam's monopoly on the gaming world.
