I’d love to see an analysis of the rate of new PC game ownership in 2019 vs 2018. I expect it’s way up due to Epic Games Store. Gamers who redeemed all free 2019 games received more than $1000 in value, while Epic paid participating devs for the giveaways.https://twitter.com/MatPiscatella/status/1220476709742317568 …

Buy it on GoG if you want to support a consumer friendly company.

Yeah, if you use GoG - CDPR gets 100% since they own GoG. And with the Galaxy 2.0 launcher - they're going to give Steam a run for their money (which is how you compete with Steam... A good launcher. See how that works Tim?)

Galaxy 2.0 is their 2nd generation launcher. They ran their store for years with no launcher at all even. By bringing them up as an example of a good launcher, you might also be interested in knowing that it took them time to build that.

Galaxy 1.0 was there for a very long time (agreed, not as long as http://GoG.com has existed) - but that was just an example. But GoG didn't go out and try and screw over consumers by buying a game and preventing it from going on steam either...

I really don't think that paying the devs more money to sell their windows game on EGS instead of Steam is screwing over anyone. Other companies have zero reason to respect your brand loyalty. It's not screwing you over since it's the same game on either store.

You don't think so? So I can buy Borderlands 3 on Steam right now, right? No? How about Metro Exodus or Phoenix Point? Mech Warrior 5? That didn't screw me over as a consumer?

Whatever store they're sold on, they're Windows games at the end of the day. It's not anti consumer to not care about your brand loyalty

And you ignore the issue: Epic bribed the developer to only sell on their store. How is that NOT anti-consumer? Imagine wanting a burger - going to get one and they said "well, your city doesn't sell burgers. we're chicken only. You need to go over there to get a burger."

That’s not what bribery is.
