What monopolising behaviour exactly?
I mean, I'm not saying Steam is perfect, but afaik they don't do exclusives that are not their own games.
Also Steam's monopoly was already being broken by GOG, EA, UBI and others.
*Edit and Microsofts game pass.
EA, Ubi, and Microsoft all buy exclusives so I don't see why Epic gets singled out. Epic also invest money into games, case in point Phoenix Point who they gave a substantial amount towards production helping them broaden the scope of the game.
I don't get the Epic Games bad guy-ism at all.
Indeed but as with all/most fan(atic)ism rational arguments don't work.
I, for example, dont care about launcher at all. All I want is to start a game. Achievements, friends list and I dunno what Steam has because I dont use it is redundant for me. Now, if Epic gives me free games and at the same time gives developers higher cut on sold games than Steam, what else should I care about? Disingenuous methods? lol Like what?
