        So here’s the thing you guys don’t address here. Pc gaming becomes unmonopolized. Now customers are going to keep running into competing games going to incompatible storefronts, fragmenting is further. How the f does that help consumers? It’s fucking exclusives all the way down

        A disambiguation of services and store is best for consumers. The stores will want walled gardens, but consumers want maximum flexibility. I thing in the spectrum of all existing viable/competitive players, Epic will prove actually most towards the consumer side of this.

        Gosh - Many of the takes in that Reddit thread are laughable and extremely detached from reality. I don’t spend time on Reddit, but the discourse feels like conspiracy theory type thinking, which is horrifying if Reddit is being used by *anyone* to help shape their opinions.

        I will ask again. Why couldn't it be on all major stores? Then maybe offer it at a discount on EGS? Or even a surcharge on steam?

        saying that supporting devs by having to use a specific game store is difficult makes me really wish my definition of difficult was the same because my life would be so easy if I considered something like this difficult. but I don't know you so maybe this is a legit struggle

        He may be right, he may be wrong - you ruined PC gaming with stealing exclusives and started this fight. YOU did that. I'll never use Epic because of it. As far I'm concerned, you're a Chinese run company that steals data... *shrug*

        hey pc gamers... we should be happy that to play exclusives we only have to download a few FREE launchers... instead of having to buy 400$ consoles. Stop whinning.

        @TimSweeneyEpic I dunno if you'll read but I have a question, how is exclusivity in your store better for the consumer when we get a subjectively worse platform and the price for the game is the same even if the store takes less, for the consumer isn't that just another bother
