Imo it’s shitty regardless of how big the competition is. The entire reason steam got to the position it’s in now is by being an extremely consumer friendly platform with little bullshit. No amount of exclusives makes the epic games client a genuinely preferable option, just a shitty requirement, and unless they stop with this shit, they’ll never genuinely be a competitor with steam, as far as players are concerned.
I agree, but again, that’s irrelevant. We’re talking about whether they should be allowed to do stuff like pay for exclusives, restrict payment options, etc. Market leaders are held to a much different standard vs underdog competitors.
I have never and probably will never buy anything from EGS because Steam is just a better experience.
