      Ultimately I feel these calls must be up to devs and pubs. If Epic said “we won’t consider exclusivity funding agreements with products announced on Steam”, that would have a chilling effect on their willingness to do business with Steam, which isn’t fair to them or Valve.

      So you've spent 6 months doing everything possible to hurt Steam and suddenly you care about whether these deals are fair to Valve or not? That's rich. More than anything, people just want you to STOP LYING.

      Epic’s goal isn’t to hurt Steam. It’s to bring gamers into our store and services and give them a better deal. Whether this hurts Steam or ultimately makes Valve a more effective competitor is up to them much more than us.

      How does excluding legit 3rd party keysellers from selling a game (see Division 2) factor into giving us better deals? Admittedly I'm not a billionaire so what do I know but none of this adds up. Well it kinda does, to a big pile of bullshit.

      Hmm, so a megathread to consolidate the positive news, and dozens of separate articles for each grievance? Doesn't seem right, as the first sentence of the mod's MegaThread post is: "Please keep all news, comments and concerns about the Epic Games Store in this post."

      Or are you saying that a handful of moderators should be deleting posts left and right from thousands and thousands of people and also throwing them into a mega-thread? You sound extremely tone-deaf. And I'm not even a moderator.

      I support free speech and open debate, things which are greatly hampered by the megathread quarantines and downvoting of minority opinions to the point of invisibility. These techniques create echo chambers, not healthy forums for discourse.

          Even now, you're on twitter, bashing a very commonly used method of source consolidation for reddit in order to frame a narrative of the population hating your service because they're uninformed. They're not. They hate your service because it's a bad service for them.

          Visibility through upvoting and downvoting is a great way to surface pictures of cute kittens, but it’s no way to nurture meaningful discourse. Arguments can only be weighted on their merits if they are seen, and this curation approach makes minority opinions invisible.

          I think the mods created the megathread to keep the situation from escalating *after* the dozens of negative posts. It was a reaction to the out of control echo chamber, not a cause.

          The megathread isn't quarantining anything. Both opinions of Epic can be found in it. It is quite literally just a single spot to look for the articles themselves instead of looking all over the place for just one thing.

          If you go through these threads, and click “show comments” on the hidden (downvoted) ones, nearly all represent the minority opinion, and hiding correlates much more with the opinion expressed than the quality of the argument in the post.

          Finally, the downvoting of minority opinion is a problem when it's solely because it is a minority opinion, which does happen sometimes. However, in the case of Epic, that isn't the case. It's downvoted because of how toxic Epic acts towards its consumers.

          Downvoting because someone disagrees is indeed a problem, as that's not what reddit intended downvotes to be used for. But that has literally ***nothing*** to do with the megathread, and it also has *nothing* to do with the mods.
