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 would also argue that Epic isn't offering the gaming industry anything beneficial because the short term increase in profits isn't going to sell well for long term to consumers. You're just removing consumers from the equation. Less consumers = less long-term monetization.

true, it Seems
@TimSweeneyEpic has forgotten the first rule of staying in business. "don't drive away your customers". the undressed infosec concerns, the lack of basic industry standard storefront features, the toxic acquisitions push. it's all bad for business.

I certainly won't be buying anything on Epic because you're not adding anything good for the industry - just limiting our options. Rather than being a viable competitor you're "pulling an EA" - under-delivering with your hand out expecting us to be happy to give you money.

Don’t you think it would be better if all stores have games without lockdown? As a PC gamer I would buy from any store with the best prices, service, and features.

Making a customer buy from only the Epic store doesn’t make that store the best. The Epic store is hated because of all the games that are locked down. Buying developers for the games.

Well, with Gamepass and a new store just around the corner, now would be a good time for MS to do so.

Give gamers what they want a choice. The only place to get a game is the Epic store. Gamers choice has been taken away that’s why PC gamers are mad. Making gamers buy only from the Epic store is wrong.

How is locking down a game to only your store good for PC gaming? You pass out money to developers cause that’s what they want. So what about other stores. The Epic store is taken away money from them.
