... I too, was upset when metro exodus and many indie devs move from steam to egs. But then I learned their reasons and understand that as customer, I don't really lose anything for them to get more. I stopped being upset and move on. I call it better customer behavior.

Hi there. I mentioned you in another reply to the same tweet. On this latest point, hypothetical question: What if you did lose something, and it was something you made good use of? Would you still consider yourself unaffected, or would you feel negatively about a worse offering?

I'll be honest, I was mad when epic didn't have regional pricing when it first launch. Though I know their reason to push 12/88 is good for developers. I still hate it because it directly affect my spending.

Then few months later epic is supporting regional price for my country. And to my surprise they also affiliate with our local payment companies. My hate towards egs is gone. The rest of steam features is so trivial that I don't really care if it doesnt exist.

Interesting story, but it didn't answer my question I'm afraid. You say there are things you hated EGS for before. What if there was still one now? Would you still defend it and call users who dislike it "steam fanboys" (even if they have no preference)? I want to know.

I'm sure I answered your question with that story. I won't defend nor use epic if I don't have any reason for. Though I also won't join the epic brigading since there are plenty of people doing that already.

Regarding the steam fanboy. Lets be real, egs hurt steam the most. It is designed to break steam dominance in pc gaming market. It sounds hypocritical when people who criticize egs because exclusive are ignoring the fact that steam has more then claiming themself as 'neutral'.

...if they want use GoG, MS Store, Origin, they could. EGS block only Steam and GoG, MS Store and gamepass isn't blocked by some "exclusive" deals. Forcing customers to store with worse functions only to claim market share. And results? 22% decline of PC premium game market.

That 22% decline is based on Superdata report, sure EGS is not only factor , but their strategy is one of many reason of falling and that's not good for PC market as whole.

Where is 22% decline is coming from? What I heard from superdata is that 17% of us gamers use egs and 37% use steam.https://www.reddit.com/r/pcgaming/comments/ej9pl6/17_of_us_pc_gamers_used_the_epic_games_store_to/ …

This 22% claim is a fabrication, no analyst said anything like that.

The salient point has to be that you have proven using exclusivity works regardless of your underlying strategy or opposition by plp like me. By doing that you have made it a very enticing endeavor to all the other companies out there with billions to burn. (Amazon, Apple etc).

I genuinely welcome more profit for devs & healthy competition for Valve. However, by proving exclusivity works we could see the PC gaming landscape carved up in the future by hundreds of stores, each doing what you are doing now but with poor service & monthly subs (ie Netflix)
