because Yea Forums is filled with dirty communists

having to buy games on epic literally doubles the chance that I will lose access to my games once these shitty DRM platforms shut down
Brandon Wood
I don't hate it. Just see no reason to use it. It has less features then steam and no one I know uses Epic

They do no benefits to the customer and keep pissing them off, not to mention really only kiss ass of large publishers lately. At this rate if Epic does get leverage in the PC market people are going to pirate instead of actually buying shit, doubly so for countries outside the U.S (which Epic raises the prices of) that had a growing number of PC gamers over the years. Sweeney is just doing more damage to the market all the while claiming he's some sort of savior and necessary force, it's ridiculous and short-sighted.

Why do you keep asking the same question?
Do EGS users have dementia?
Nicholas Baker
It offers nothing compared to other storefronts and tries to shit them up at the same time, all under some guise of benevolence.

EGS launcher runs better than steam and that's all that better
Logan Rodriguez
>Runs better
>Has no features but takes as much power as running steam
Jack Roberts
They're holding a gun to the head of consumers to use their product. No one wants to be forced to use something.

This. When remastered AoE was announced, I was hyped. Then Microsoft made it a Windows store exclusive and I lost all interest. I just play my original copy of AoE with a high resolution mod.

What’s there to like about EGS if you’re the guy trying to play video games?

1. Because they buy exclusivity, thereby locking games to a store and client which are currently inferior, not only to Steam but also to GOG Galaxy and other more established clients.
2. Because they are blatantly shilled on Yea Forums (e.g. ). Many of the threads about Epic would be fine if not for the fact that they're posted repeatedly. This annoys people. The hatred of Epic Games is largely a backlash.
3. Because Epic shills are fucking retarded. They call Steam a monopoly despite the fact that the very existence of Epic Games and other stores proves that it isn't, and they lecture everyone about how competition is good for consumers while at the same time they gleefully predict Valve's bankruptcy and celebrate Epic's exclusivity deals.
4. Because Epic shills don't understand that gamers are not game developers. I'm sure the Epic store's 88/12 split does wonders for indie developers whose games are actually good enough to get onto their curated store, but this doesn't benefit consumers directly because the prices are still the same.

I think 30% is too high of a cut for econtent distribution.

This too. wtf they ruined this board

>being dick with buying exclusive
I wonder why. I'll keep my CODEX exclusive.
Ethan Anderson
How about for content distribution and payment processing and server support and the largest install base among the pc-playing public?
