Well, I’ll be damned. They finally won one it sounds like.

      Poor gamers having to deal with competitors to steam.

        Competition is good. Poaching games isn’t. And how exactly is it competition if I have to use both to play my games?

        If Epic really wanted to compete they’d compete in features, like GoG does.

        Edit: Also if the Epic hate were really just about gamers hating competition to Steam, then GoG would be getting hate too.

      The launcher is annoying, but not enough for me to really care.

      It’s basically a different icon and you can install games in such a way that they just click on the icon on the desktop and you don’t need to worry about the launcher at all.

      But as far as their products go they’re fine, they offer good quality products for reasonable prices, they don’t seem to take an unrealistic cut of proceeds for games on the platform. They certainly have never attempted to pull anything like Unity has done.
