Neither Epic forces publishers to release games on their store
No they just bribe them to make them exclusive. Unless do you actually believe that publishers would make them Epic exclusive without shit load of money they get.
Nobody is forcing you to play these games
True, but the point is that if I backed a game only to be told that I have to wait for a whole year before I can play it on platform of my choosing I would be pissed.
"it will damage the state of PC gaming"
https://fortniteintel.com/epic-games-ceo-speaks-out-against-loot-boxes-in-gaming/29717/
So because its already damaged its ok to damage it some more? There is outrage for loot boxes unless you think people shouldnt bitch about is since everyone is doing it?
Quickly someone saves PC gaming!

"The only thing is, the scanner consumes the container in order to reveal the item inside. To use the X-ray Scanner again, the revealed item must be claimed, because it’s not designed to scan another container without claiming the revealed item."
Thanks Lord Gaben
Never said Valve is perfect, but I dont see how throwing fuel on fire will make the it better?
They are figuring out how to create a review system that blocks review bombing (massive incline)
How is that incline? Who is going to judge if the game is review bombed or just shitty game. In before every AAA game on EPIC store gets 90% positive reviews since others are judged to be unacceptable. Are they also still figuring out how to gift games?
It isn't Epic fault if publishers accept good exclusivity deals
Dont be retarded, EPIC gives shit load of money to make games exclusive, its a great deal for publishers but not so good for players.
I'm not, I don't buy games at full price
This was your comment: "Same reason Steam games cost the same as consoles games despite having no licensing fees to Nintendo/Sony/Microsoft.
But that's ok because Valve didn't impose it!"
You were bitching about Steam prices.
Steam lacks weekly free gaems

Steam gifts free games every week.
Also who gives a fuck about free games, I buy myself what I want and I live in pretty much third world country.
You are like a nigger who votes Democrat only because they will give you welfare.
As I said I support EPIC financing devs to make games and make them exclusive to their store as they are acting as publishers.
But that article is a joke:
"Indie developer Gwen Frey is working on a puzzle game called Kine all by themselves. "I was a struggling solo indie dev making a passion project," Frey says in a tweet. "I was about to sell out to a publisher so I could hire artists and finish my game properly. But I didn't, because I was saved by an Epic exclusivity deal."
So here is a indie dev making a puzzle game similar to thousands of others on Steam. Yet what, he deserves success and riches just because hes making a game? Should we feel sorry for him for starting a project for which he didnt have money or people to complete? I have zero pity for those kind of people and if EPIC decides to give money to every indie dev like that I dont think that their Fortnite money would be enough.
30% sharecut is evil for small developers, should be 20% for everyone, not only for games that make over $50m in revenue
Its the same pretty much everywhere, yet neither developers or publishers cared about it until now. And for some reason very few of them rush to put their games on itch.io that has 10% cut.
But do they bitch about developers who release games on other platforms?
If they are anything like you then Im sure in their offices they do nothing but bitch about it.
Epic didn't force anyone to release games for $60
Nobody said otherwise.
