I think competition is generally good, but i also am not a fan. Just wait it out

I don’t like it when something is only available on Epic either. I also don’t like it when someone is only available on Steam - which happens far more often.

Gee maybe you should sue epic and make them carry other stores apps and not lock in their payment system and allow downloading steam from their store for giga karma.

Epic supports third party launchers

I think Steam is the only platform I avoid that works on Linux

Think of it as a “this game is not yet available for purchase” seal. It may also mean “we know our game is not up to standards (it wouldn’t sell well on Steam), so we chose to let idiots at epic decide if they want to pay for it, and hey it worked so that’s something”.

If a game is only released on Epic, it hasn’t been released yet. Its just in some weird alpha state until it has broader release.

I have a friend that uses epic games. I met him on steam. I’ve never played an epic game even though he keeps telling me about free games or whatever on epic games.

I have a backlog of great games to play so long that I’m seeing remasters of some games on the list come out before I’ve played them a first time. I have no problem waiting for games to come to a different platform and go on sale.

Other than Fortnite, what game is only available on Epic?

Steam, Epic, GOG, it’s all the same to me. I’m not gonna fanboy over one platform and miss out on a game. That’s just ridiculous.

I just wait until the exclusivity expires and then wait for it to go on deep discount because at that point I’ve moved on.

So I own some games on epic store cause they were free and I said fuck it I’ll up for free games.

Haven’t installed the epic games store yet, and it’s been years. The benefits don’t outweigh the drawbacks, clearly.

Available on both Apple and Google stores? That’s a near instant pass to me, too.

I use both Epic and Steam. That’s it. I understand your sentiment though.

I refuse to use epic, didn’t even have an account
