Thanks to the 10-year-old weebs and twitch simps that spend thousands of dollars on V-bucks on Fortnite we have gotten GTAV and now Borderlands:The Handsome Collection for free. Next week Ark is rumored to be the free game.

Epic is very very generous for doing this and it’s nice to finally uninstall Steam on my computer.

I hope everyone realizes that Epic clearly cares about gamers, while Valve does not.

Epic good
Valve BAD

I never understood why people were so angry that Epic was offering a better pay system for producers and obtaining exclusives because of that.

Rather than demanding better from Valve, they instead demand that Epic should cease offering better incentives.

It was dumb as hell.

I got Civ6 last week

I just refuse to buy from them when they do exclusive contracts.

Other than that, I have no quarrel with them and enjoy their service

You ppl just don't get why most hate it.

It is buggy, very buggy, this also varies wildly between chipsrts. Some chipsets within the same socket I can't download or launch games from the epic launcher.

You normies need to go back to the consoles.

Valve does need to revise their model.

Really like sub-based gaming like GamePass and Origin Access.

You realize it takes 2 to make that deal?

You guys should boycott developers for making those deals as well.

I do. I wait until the exclusivity times out, then I grab it.

Fact. People hated Steam for a long time when it came out.
Fact. There were already a pile of launchers with exclusives before Epic.
Looking at my desktop, I've got Battle.net, Gog, Microsoft, Origin, Steam and Uplay. One more isn't going to somehow finally break my spirit to the point I don't buy an awesome game because it is an exclusive on Epic.
The Epic hatred is silly. Sure, their platform blows chunks. So did Steam when it came out and now many of you are willing to sacrifice playing a good game just to maintain all your games on one platform which was originally hated by most people.

And as bad as Epic might appear to be, it is still better than Microsoft. I had a game install fail twice Thursday night on their miserable platform.

Admittedly, I don't give a single frick about achievement and things like that so I don't have much skin in the game. A launcher is just a launcher to me.

And Epic is willing to pay developers more money so as long as they do that, they are going to continue to get exclusives.

Steam sucked donkey balls early on. I was so excited to bring home the Orange Box, only to find out that I needed to download Steam to play the the game. All at 28.8kbps. It was my first experience with a launcher.
