      You're doing fine, you just can't lean into the hate too much. You're doing something different and helping developers. Gotta stay positive because your purpose and message behind EGS is really good in the long-term.

      You've clearly made up your mind, but please don't pretend it's all mindless hate. I backed Shenmue III likely for more than any EGS buyer will spend, and Tim effectively paid to downgrade my Kickstarter reward. I have a VERY legitimate grievance. Theirs is not a "good purpose".

      shenmue is worse on EGS? I've never played any of the shenmue games so I don't know about performance issues and such. And I think offered a much higher rev-share to devs instead of 30% is great. But those sound like two seperate issues.

      Every game is objectively worse on EGS. None have achievements, integrated communities or support for nonstandard controllers. Those are features some - not all - gamers need and miss. A higher revenue share is fine but it doesn't make the experience better for gamers.

      Wrong! steam and other store is subjectively better (or worse) than egs. What if I never care about achievements? What if I dont use steam communities at all? What if I want free games? What if I want higher revenue split or upfront sales? Etc..

      This is also true. For me a superior client is one that doesn't force updates on games. Steam forces updates, Epic and GOG do not, both Epic and GOG are superior to Steam. So on Steam it is a net negative, but that didn't stop me from buying games from Steam...

      because the games are still more important the the stores themselves, store preference only plays a part after I have determined I want to buy a game. If game is not on my prefered store, I simply buy the game where it is at and don't complain about it, I instead enjoy the game

      So if a game has malware and is updated to remove it, EGS has no means to protect gamers from running the malware version. Is this an extreme example compared to ensuring version alignment in multiplayer games? Yes. Does it present another benefit of forced updates? Also yes. 1/2

      by default on EGS, automatic updates are turned on. But EGS gives the player the option to choose for themselves to turn automatic updates off, which is what I do. Steam has no such option.

      Following my crazy hypothetical, does EGS have the ability to remotely override a user turning automatic updates off? Because if not, it cannot protect them from an unlikely malware version. Protection and alignment vs flexibility: There's no right answer or better method.

      If you’re connected to the internet, it can require an update to be installed before it will launch the game. This is used in multiplayer games like Fortnite where only the latest version is compatible with the servers, but it could be used for other cases.

          This is separate from the option to run the launcher at startup. If you turn that off, the store doesn’t do anything till you run it.

          And that's even if the user has selected the option that they don't want to update, and can even be applied for offline games? Now that's not what Eisberg was saying.
