      By artificially creating their own monopoly and by creating unhealthy competition that benefits the publisher and not the consumer.

      The only reason you want competition is to improve things, if competition makes things worse for consumers then it's bad. Unless you're such a corporate bootlicker you want things to be better for the publishers.

      I don't live in the US so Epic did diddly fucking squat for me.

      So yeah sure competition benefited consumers in the US but was an active detriment to the rest of the world where Epic's prices are worse. Hell people in China can't even buy it now because there's no epic store. Do you see the problem now?

      How is Epic not also an oversized, rent seeking middleman? If you remotely cared about middlemen you'd buy all your games on Humble and http://itch.io .

      We’re running the Epic Games store to ultimately make a profit, too, just like Steam and the other stores. The difference in rent is 12% versus 30%.

          And on another level, the real reason for your aggressive market push against @steam_games is to provide WeGame/Tencent with a massive install base in the western markets, right?

          The Epic Games store isn’t related to Tencent’s WeGame distribution platform. Epic has been slowly working towards building a game store for years, focusing on needs for our own games till recently. Does WeGame even operate outside of China? I don’t even know.

          Not exactly: It's 12% vs. 30/25/20% (depending on overall revenue). And the real difference is in the features/services the consumer gets for the same money. But I take it, that you left out the details by purpose.

          Tim is the king of leaving out details. Some others: Tencent owns 40% of epic, they actually own 48.4% of epic, he's Rounding down. Metro Exodus surpassed last light, likely counting sales on steam/physical copies and not considering general sales increase on PC since 2013

          12% rent...that comes with no deadbolt (poor security), hidden camera in the bathroom (data collection/being involved with Tencent), no electricity (missing basic essential features) and resides in the middle of the Canadian tundra (no reviews or forums)
