      I support everyone’s right to complain about tech industry stuff. Epic’s store, with exclusive games and a spartan feature set, is a fine target for ire. But please help separate facts and opinions from the lies about spyware and foreign control.https://www.usgamer.net/articles/the-epic-games-store-is-spyware-how-a-toxic-accusation-was-started-by-anti-chinese-sentiment …

      I'd like the know your reason for starting the store. Is it the % of sales? Steam is a terrible piece of software but it just inconveniences us to have more launchers

      The reason for the Epic Games store is a long story. It started as the launcher that we needed for distributing our games directly to customers, because we didn’t think Steam’s 30% or intermediation was fair.

          As an @UnrealEngine I've always wondered why it took so long for a native store for developers. I am glad, as our game @pi_and_power will be released on the @EpicGames store, #ezPzpic.twitter.com/FAyPxjqDPg

          As an @UnrealEngine Developer*, but thank you! Going through the process of registering at each store was daunting for our small team. Now just hoping you and @minuskelvin can get back to us about some exciting #acousticRayTracing #VR #science @multisensebrain @ahswaterloo

          I would like to support your company, but exclusives is a horrible way to go about it. Please do not force me to support your store, I tend to not respond well to force, stop buying exclusives and I will buy from your store, until then I won't spend a dime.

          I'd like to know how you think it's ethical to create an inferior product and then essentially lock out consumer choice with shady under the table deals with Take Two. Just build a superior store and a lot of us would have migrated but now you're just a scum bucket worse than EA

          Even EA only exclusive their own games on Origin and never tried to be the worst mafia by buying exclusive right and force everyone to buy a game they only on their platform. Worst ethic in the gaming industry. No one should stand for Epic.

          But the reality is that @steam_games allows for key generation for sale on other platforms. The exact figures aren't public but it's more like 20% factoring in external sales. That may be still to high for you to swallow but this exclusivity stuff is just bull.
