Real question: how? What does epic games do? Is it privacy stuff? I’m out of the loop. I just get free games and gave a disposable email.
Pretty much just epic paying devs money in order to give away their game, almost directly buying them market share for their launcher. They will probably stop doing it some day. Or maybe they won’t.
You mean… Giving devs money so they’re guaranteed an income instead of relying solely on the success or failure of their game which can be fairly random in some cases? Or the part where they keep a share of the profit much smaller than Steam?
Not sure what part of my comment you interpreted as dissing this business practice, or what the second half of your comment is even referring to as I never mentioned profit splitting, but you keep on waffling about epic. I am sure that will fix their launcher sucking dick.
Probably waiting to stop once their store hits a critical mass and repeat business
Guessing that never happened and never will
Steam has great prices, great sales, great features for the users
GOG has a decent selection, is good with older games, and no DRM. That’s still an advantage
Epic has…an ability to make you have to log in or update constantly? I don’t see the advantage over anything. I personally refuse to give them money for taking away store choice with exclusives
Shitty business model. Exclusivity contracts. Haven’t heard about it much lately though so maybe they’re not pulling that crap as much now that they’re more established.
