    If Epic could actually provide a better service, they would be seeing customers and developers actually want to use their platform.

    Instead they try to lock games behind exclusivity deals and bribe customers with free games and they still fail.

    So what do they do instead of fixing their own problems? They go after everyone else who’s actually successful.

      I’d love it if they had a comparable service, because competition is good for the consumer, but they just don’t.

      Steam has had a relative monopoly for two decades, and we’re lucky they’ve been customer friendly. But if something were to happen to Gabe, or Valve decided to go public or something, we’re screwed.
