Another thing that would help is not releasing one of your most anticipated and subsequently well received games in recent memory exclusively on Epic. Still waiting for Alan Wake 2 to release on Steam or Gog guys...
- Epic paid for (part of) Alan Wake 2's development. Without them we may not have had the game in the first place, and certainly not in the state it released in.
- Maybe if you appreciate the studio and their work you should buy the game where they will make the most profit from the sale.
  
  Apparently they're not making enough profit on Epic to avoid taking a loan from Tencent.
  
  Personally, I object to Epic using purchased exclusivity as a tool to gain market share, and refuse to capitulate to that approach when there's so many other games to play. If they truly.want to compete with Steam then actually make their marketplace competitive with more social and community features that Steam offers.
  
  If they offer it on steam and then sell Steam keys on their own website, that should get them the most from each sale...
  
  I'm never giving the company that made billions exploiting the FOMO of children my money. I won't install the launcher. I don't didn't need their free games.
  
  I don't care if they can throw their massive pile of Fortnite cash around to give developers more money.
  
  I play on Linux. Steam offers amazing support for windows games, Epic goes out of their way to make Linux gaming harder. That means it's a hard no for me. Steam or DRM-free so I can tinker with it myself.
  
  I'm not supporting a company just for charity. Companies aren't people.
  
  They make something I want
  
  I buy it
  
  An epic release isn't what I want.
- Why is that so important? If you like the game and want to support it, buy it
  
  But if you don’t like the platform and don’t want to support it, what do you do then?
  
  And a lot of people don’t like epic games for a number of reasons.
  
  I don't support shit tier game storefronts.
The ~~Matrix~~ CCP has you.
Ah fucking hell that isn't good for Control 2
This is how this company is creating a gaming monopoly.
