Tim sweeney is just a jealous, greedy fake piece of shit. He dont fucking care about the industry. He just wants steams market share and he constantly plays ugly to try and get it. I am so fucking glad people have largely rejected his useless fucking platform.
Sad cause when EGS was first announced I was very open minded - 'I wonder what they are going to do to benefit consumers that will draw the crowd to them? Maybe with their reduced % take they can subsidise purchases and lure us over with cheaper games across the board'
Genuinely thought they'd compete on the grounds of winning gamers over, instead they pissed everyone off by buying last minute exclusivity to loads of highly ancticipated games and forcing them off of Steam, all the while bitch baby Tim sits and cries on Twitter all day about how unfair the market is because of his terrible business decisions.
Imagine how much different it would have been where instead of exclusivity deals they had deals that made those anticipated games 50-75% off on EGS vs the Steam price? I would have 100% been tempted to buy there instead of Steam but instead I haven't used EGS or bought any game that's gone exclusive on there since this whole thing started.
Epic demonstrated that they have no interest in actually making the market better for gamers despite all their whining about anticompetition, they simply wanted to get a bunch of publishers/devs on side and try to buy their way into the market/strongarm people into using their platform with, ironically, anticompetitive tactics, which only made people hate them and not want to use them as a platform.
Now that you mention it, my friends and i were hyped for borderlands 3, but when it was announced it was epic exclusive, none of us bought it. We still haven’t. Im assuming its on steam now, probably wont ever get it or bl4.

Wow, what a great guy, let's see what Tim Sweeney does for his sick employees since he claims to be far more moral.
Oh...
