Seems like buying games to remove them from your competitor is a scummier thing to do.
Epic is trash, simple as
Rocket League had a native Linux version, but they also pulled that.
And a Mac client.
No one gives a flat fuck about epics launcher.
Because Steam is the world’s biggest games store on PC while Epic is statistically insignificant. What’s the question?
epic is irrelevant because nobody wants it, not because steam is trying to crush competition.
Because sweeney is greedy lying piece of shit, who’s using “think of poor developers being robbed by app stores” to cut himself bigger market share by suing fuck out of competitors
Like they won over google and guess what? He fucked over “all the poor developers” and cut himself a juicy deal to settle antitrust case
Fuck him, fuck Epic
If Epic spent half as much money as they are suing organisations and instead funded developing their shop into a gaming community platform like Steam, they’d probably have caught up by now.
Epic Games Launcher would always end up a pile of shit anyway. Tim Sweeney is a fuckhead and he has lots of investors to please.
What are they being sued for? I guess I missed this?
Also I guess it could be argued they only removed it from new sales whereas people who already owned those titles on Steam still have them on Steam.
They are being accused of price fixing with the whole “can’t sell games for cheaper on other store fronts compared to the steam listing” thing
[email protected] explains it better below:
It only applies to Steam product keys though, so developers cannot sell cheap Steam keys on other platforms while still taking advantage of Steam’s services.
Oh well that’s totally fair, honestly.
It locks out real competitive pricing.
