To be fair the freebies was the only reason I ever started their launcher. I’m sure they realized that most of us never stuck around as actual customers.
Epic is in that same boat now. The freebies they throw out with all their “fuck you money” won’t make people stay on their platform.

honestly, I gotta say I no longer care about having all my games on Steam only. I guess getting RDR2 on Rockstar launcher cured me from that, and I just found out that Epic now does accept my Payoneer payments (though I’ll see if these purchases don’t get cancelled somehow - I half expect that to happen.)
I can understand ppl might not like it or whatever, but u rly can’t beat their regional pricing (+ their $10 additional, renewable, endless [during sales] coupon). Just compare:
and now I’m just gonna wait till these sales end, and then I’ll be able to apply (my third!!!) $10 coupon to this as well and get it even cheaper than during the sales itself.

regardless of what your intentions are (I don’t claim to know, but I’ve clearly shown what I think it is [or at least looks like to me]), I have two things to say about it:
-
I seriously dislike exclusives (even timed ones) but I don’t think it’s the end of the world either.
-
Everyone will agree that Valve has suddenly completely changed (on sooooo many levels), and I think even a blind person will not be able to deny that Epic’s sudden, dramatic, and aggressive challenge is the main reason for that.
Hence, though I wouldn’t say Epic saved Valve/Steam, it certainly lead to its improvement (again, on so many levels), and so I think ppl should at the very least recognize that.
Bottom line is: ppl hate Epic cuz of exclusives cuz it’s anti-competition but in doing whatever they did (the bad included - not going to deny it), they did noticeably increase competition in the market and we can already see some positive results because of it, and I’m pretty sure more will follow (and lower prices or at least better conditions for developers overall might be one of those, at least eventually).

The exclusives are not anti-competition, they’re the only way for Epic to compete against a monopoly like Valve. Remember, every exclusive means more funding for the developer, and possibly excepting the very biggest publishers, what’s good for devs is good for consumers because they put that funding right back into their games.
