Is it still bad? I want to buy Satisfactory. But everyone on Yea Forums says this is a chink botnet. Should I just wait until the Steam release?

It still is bad, yes.
Just pirate it.
Not OP but, I also want to play it, I've been excited about it since E3 and holy shit it's going to be a long year until it's out on steam. Friends are planning to buy it on EGS and I bet cross launcher isn't going to be a thing in this and other Chinese Spyware launcher games.
It’s fucking terrible. Pirate, and pay the devs in the futute
They don't need your money. They already got paid by Epic to not let you choose your store/client. Wait for GOG and pirate it.
You really shouldn't do it, even if you don't care about the intrusive data collecting, you shouldn't support Epic's bribery or the devs who happily shit on their fans.
Not a chinkbot, but still bad regardless.
Yeah, I uninstalled that piece of garbage the moment they announced Metro Exodus is exclusive to it for a year.
>People using piracy as an acceptable form of protest
If the developers want to abandon their customers, than the customers should return the favor. Piracy is just the worst of both worlds.
I bought all my games through EPIC games launcher and had no problems at all. It's certainly much faster than that steam bloat software. Did you know that playing the original counter-strike 1.6 installs malware and Trojans on your computer? How can anyone trust a company that hasn't attempted to fix exploits in their old games, especially something that dangerous, is beyond me.
>Brit complaining about piracy
Get fucked redcoat!
The botnet shit is overblown, but yes the Epic Game Store is still shit and you shouldn't financially support a company bringing paid exclusivity to storefronts that they had no hand in developing. Plus given the guaranteed sales minimum, all sales of the game will pretty much only go to Epic and not the dev themselves (since I seriously doubt they'll ever reach sales levels on the level of those guaranteed minimums)
What this guy says. Ignore the china crap, the real issue is their asshole business practices. Steam/valve has its issues but Epic is going full retard.
tim sweeny already paid for your copy, why give the devs more money?
Its actually worse, since some of the shady stuff they are doing has been revealed, and they doesnt even try to deny it, meaning there are worse things behind the curtains
It's not bad doesn't take anymore than any other store or even windows 10
If you want to support a dev it's probably your best option for a store.
>If you want to support a dev it's probably your best option for a store.
If that dev is lucky enough for Epic to accept them onto their curated store. Strange for years people were bitching about Steam being a gatekeeper on what games could be successful on PC, and now that everyone can release games there apparently we need curation again to gatekeep
Ignoring the epic stuff, I still wouldn't reccomend Satisfactory. I was in the private alpha, and the game is just worse than Factorio in every way imaginable. Just play Factorio instead.
just pirate it, epic already paid for your copy lmao
