    Paid exclusives ruin PC gaming, only devs who don’t believe in their game sing an exclusive contract. They’ll learn the hard way for sure :)

      Bullshit. The only way it ruins PC gaming is by forcing you to use a launcher that isn’t Steam, you will never complain about all the games that only release on Steam.

      18k games released on Steam this year, how many did you hear about and how many were actually successful?

      There’s tons of good games that just won’t sell enough for the devs to recoup their cost just because no streamer decided to play them. Go read on indie devs communities what the experience is like when releasing a game you put your heart and soul into only to get no coverage and no sales.

        You said it yourself, it ruins PC by forcing they crappy launcher

        Games on epic are either released there and forgotten by many or given away for free one day

        Tell me what Epic does better than anything else, I’m waiting.

        • 88/12 is not a valid point because 88 of 1000 is way less that 70 of 1000000
        • Free games are not valid since I can get them for free anyway without needing a launcher 🏴‍☠️🏴‍☠️

          BuT tHeIr CrApPy LaUnChEr!

          Try to come up with something a bit more original. You don’t give a crap about exclusives as long as they’re on the platform you like, it’s pure hypocrisy.

          Piracy vs gifts aren’t the same thing.

            • 3 Years for shopping cart
            • Can’t add a simple “move games to disk”
            • If the launcher somehow forgets what games you have installed you have to redownload the whole game again, no simple “scan to find installed games” (No, tricks to do it don’t count)
            • They got caught sniffing your steam friend list
            • Scummy “Reviews” system where you have to choose between refunding the game or hoping to have a chance to review the game
            • “Review” system so barebone you can’t even write your own reviews but pick from predetermined ones
            • “Customer support” so dogshit they can’t even help you if someone hacks in your account (Steam does it pretty well)

            The list goes on… There you go your “try to come up with something more original”

            You’ll defend every shit out of this because you like to suck lil’ Tim cock :)

              I’ll defend any alternative to Steam, you guys just like to focus on Epic.

              Steam inventing lootboxes and facilitating underage gambling? Bah

              Remember that time Valve was accessing people’s DNS cache to check what websites they had visited? Yeah, we don’t talk about that…

              How about that 30% cut letting Gabe own a yacht… Collection! Just another friendly billionaire, nothing to worry about.

              Who’s cock sucking here exactly? 🤔
