>>731277948its cuz epic CEO don't care about competing he just always wanted to force himself into PC gaminghe has always held contempt for PC gamers and now it's no different he just wants a piece of the pie now
>>731278758You could literally remove Epic from the industry and nothing would change because people still mostly rely on actual reliable alternatives like Steam, GoG or just plain old piracy. Maybe only people at a loss would be Fortnite players on PC but at this point that's really what EGS is anyways and that's pretty amusing.
>>731277948Timmy is hilariously inept.
>>731277948Isn't this based though? In an economy where studios get shut down left and right, and we keep seeing mass layoffs of game devs, Isn't it a good thing to see a billion dollar company help out the little guy?The fact that this is all at the cost of their profits as they try and fail to overtake Steam is just icing on the cake. Not only is it hilarious, it's also good for the soul.

Steam gives you painless one-click compatibility with Linux. EGS doesn't.
>>731277948>get it for free on EGS>buy it on Steam to give back to developer Good job Timmy.
Half the threads on the catalog right now are identical to threads posted yesterday
>>731283579Paid EGS shills are actually fuming at this news
>>731277948It's either Gog or STEAM for me. You know the rest like Epic etc are going to start enshittification once they capture a large market that can't easily leave their platform. It happened to Adobe, Windows, Netflix and it's going to happen to pretty all of STEAM/GoG's competitors because all of them want to be the next Netflix/Windows 11 of gaming platforms.
>>731279094>You could literally remove Epic from the industry and nothing would changeYou fucking retard. Unreal was developed by them. As shit as 5 might be, its still the backbone of vidya development and the previous versions gave us many kinos
