    Epic got so much bullshit for - reads annotation - making platform exclusives that were only temporary and helped developers with stable financing with better terms.

      They didn’t even make things exclusive

      There were no clauses saying you couldn’t release on mac/linux/ps/xbox/switch

      They just only carry games for the Windows platform. They did buy EAC and make a Linux version as well as gave all devs the ability to implement crossplay regardless of engine

        Beyond a bit of annoyance about Borderlands 3 being temporarily exclusive, I think the only thing I minded about Epic Games Store was a lack of user reviews, but there’s the metacritic embed now so I’m not sure was the issue should be.

      G*mers are too Stockholmed by Valve’s monopoly.

      Introduction the Epic store to gamers was like introducing vegetables to meth addicts
