      My iPhone pulled all my gmail and Facebook contacts in without my explicit consent, so that I had a calendar filled with birthdays and up to 4 contact entries per person on any of those lists. Business as usual in the poorly regulated realm of information, despicable as it is.

      It boils down to something very simple: Epic is not going to listen unless their bottom line is hurt. Their bottom line is hurt through the people they buy off's bottom line. So the only way to hurt them is to go to the source of their money and hurt that flow. Or use FTC reports

      Your argument comes across as suggesting that everyone should sit down, shut up, and mindlessly consume everything that is put on our plates, because if we don't someone might have to get a different job. That's a great pro-corporation mindset to take, really.

      So, yes. If you want to hurt a corporation, you need to hit the money at its source and have that flow up the stack. If they don't lose money, they have no reason to change behaviors. Yes, this impacts the employees; because they are part of the company's value that can be lost.

      I should take the time to state that this is not malice towards the individuals who work for Epic or PGI. The root of the problem is @TimSweeneyEpic and his dishonest, anti-consumer tactics, and everyone else is just collateral damage in an attempt to get him to listen for once.

      I’m listening, I just don’t agree with you. I believe that PC store exclusives are a reasonable strategy for a new store with an 88/12 revenue split in favor of developers to compete against an established 70/30 store with over 90% market share.

      Very well, if you are listening - Why aim for a year long exclusivity period when you'd get the bulk of your sales in a month long one instead? It hurts any goodwill your partners may have had, and further lowers Epic in the eyes of consumers who pay attention to your history.

      The exclusivity periods are aimed at bringing in the core buyers of the game and follow-on friends joining through word of mouth, similar to the timeframe of a movie debuting in theaters. We looked at sales data of existing games and concluded that was generally 6-12 months.

          I don't think I will agree the length is justified, but thank you for the answer. I do have one request if you would humor me: I personally would have significantly fewer misgivings if EGS focused on improved security, publicly. verification of email addresses, for one.

          forcing them and locking out some customers with no consoles and no way to buy the exclusive deals even if they wanted to (counting me) and experiencing a lot of issues with the store ?😶 Do you honestly think steam will ever look at epic scared? you'll kill GoG first :/

          Also it would be good to source any games you can, even if they are older and on steam, Ideally undercut steams price, if they legally can, anything that's good quality. multiplayer titles would be nice if that's possible.(integration problems?)

          Except, nobody is spreading anything positive about the EGS, it's exclusively negative. NOBODY wants to use your client of their own freewill. You taking steps to prevent people from being able to choose which client they use is the ONLY reason EGS even has a customer base.
