The first looked good but they sold themselves so is a big nope for me
Who cares. They're obviously doing that because Steam takes 30% and they believe they can get more revenue from EGS.
EGS isn't as bad as you make it seem. It was the only viable strategy for EGS to implement themselves (this and free games). Breaking Steam's monopolistic position can only bring good.
If I really wanted to be upset, I'll be at playstation exclusives or Nintendo exclusives or similar.
No sales = better. Yeee but compare what epic gives and what steam gives to devs AND users then shit talk about the split
Ahahahahahah okay! They care so much about you as user that they don't even bother to improve their launcher after all these years! Why would anyone want to use such an inferior launcher? No real review system, no customization no forums to look for guides, communicate with devs or others. Ooh and it didn't work well :) they stopped with exclusives because it wasn't profitable for them... I wonder why...
