I was upset when Epic acquired Rocket League and drove it into the ground, and then I was pissed when Epic paid for exclusivity on ubisoft games. I bought one game on Epic game stores app two years ago and have since claimed every free game they offer every week whether I care to play it or not. I have also repurchased that game on Steam, so literally the only time I even open epic games is to claim the weekly free game and cost them money.
Epic has exclusivity on all Ubisoft games? I stopped buying Ubi games years ago, so I guess that's fine with me. I hope Ubisoft loses money on that deal.
I don't LIKE the epic games store, but it is kind of fucking strange, that valve is a company whose literal monopoly is not only not questioned, but specifically celebrated.
Yeah cuz they doing it right
For now... Except for all the showelware, and OS support of "the current" one...
If you want to fight the monopoly, go with a good alternative like GOG Galaxy. This article is about Epic, hence the preference for Steam.
