Won't return to Steam till 2020. If you already pre-ordered on Steam, you get to keep it, everyone else has to use Epic Store or wait a year.

Splitting the PC user base, nice.

PC gaming is about to re-enter the dark ages with every company wanting their own DRM. Dying Light dev is talking about having their own storefront now...

Steam has really turned into a storefront for indy games.

We agree on something.

Personally for me, no Steam = no buy. Simple.

Refuse to have my friends list, community hub, etc splintered. It's sad that console games are now superior in this regard.

Looks like my gaming careen will consist of replaying old games that I love.

Not sure if true, from the comments

quote:

They have terrible security (80 million accounts were exposed last week)

They have terrible customer service (just google it)

Games are more expensive on Epic due to regional pricing

You can't play games offline

Limited social features

No screenshots

No controller support

They broke EU laws (and still do)

Scummy tactics (you had to tick a box to opt out of emails etc)

They are partially owned by Tencent (a company that sells user data to the Chinese government)

Is it true Epic doesn't have cloud saves?

I have no shame in saying any of you that actually fed money in to these cancerous fricks at epic games through Fortnite can all kiss the gaming community’s arse.

Stop being an up tight loser. God damn you single player gamers are why the public views gamers as weird frickers.
