      and does this mean that if we, costumers, want to buy a game on a certain store because it's our preference, it's our gaming experience with features, and it's better for us for pricing and security, we can't? No, you said it, MULTI STORE SHOULD BE A THING but "epic exclusive"😑

      "each individual" yes, i know they have rights to choose a store that gives them huge loads of money, but we costumers, the ones who also pay to use their product and follow their products with joy to have a really good time playing, have no word?

      These statements are consistent. 99.9% of game playing is on mobile, console, and PC. A game developer who’s frustrated with other platforms can’t just retreat to Linux. They couldn’t earn a living. We have to fight for our freedoms on today’s platforms as they stand.

      "We have to fight for our freedoms on today’s platforms as they stand.", and isn't that what some customers are doing complaining about epic? and that devs like Laylacode, AOne Games, and even CEO like Pitchford and you are calling trolls?

      You can’t have a “right to buy every game on Steam” without taking away every developer’s right to release their game however they choose.

      There’s isn’t a right to buy a game wherever you want. If there were, it would take away developers’ freedom to decide how to release their games!

          You cant just shit over the all gamers, Mister Sweeney! We have questions! Why do you say that the developers themselves should decide in which store to release the game, but at the same time bribe the publishers themselves so that they release the games in your store? Mr Sweeney

          Developers can decide to distribute their games directly themselves, or can decide to work with a publisher and delegate their right to distribute and make distribution decisions to the publisher. Epic deals with whoever ultimately holds that right.

          If Tim had an option, he would put all customers into Chinese version of Gulag, force them to work so they would pay him sweet sweet money. That's why he is the Hitler of Video games, or rather, Mao, due to his Chinese Communism backing. But to be fair, that is worse.

          "Developers freedom to decide how to release their games" What, exactly, is developer freedom if you just throw cash in either theirs or the publishers direction? Actual freedom would be them using your store without you bribing them, so I wonder why they don't hmm?
