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%.

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

The end goal is to wholly own Epic and roll its users into our own WeGame service (Don’t worry, your Epic store library will carry over). We wouldn’t invest so heavily in a competitor if we didn’t intend to take over eventually.

More than likely the way Tim is burning through all the capital we injected into Epic to buy exclusives! The way he’s overextending on these exclusives, we may need to accelerate the rescue (merger) plan! But I’m confident our teams can get it done.
