The move is designed to make more titles Epic Games Store exclusive…

The Epic First Run programme allows developers of any size to claim 100% of revenue if they agree to make their game exclusive on the Epic Games Store for six months.

After the six months are up, the game will revert to the standard Epic Games Store revenue split of 88% for the developer and 12% for Epic Games.

    Why should you be happy it has the most bare functionality it could possibly have. It’s 2023. On Steam I can stream from a Linux PC to my living room, play on some Nintendo Joycons with full gyro support, have a YouTube video playing picture-in-picture and bringing up an achievement guide with one button press. Epic is just a launcher, Steam is a full-fledged gaming platform.

        The issue is not the launcher. The issue is the exclusivity. It demonstrates an anti-consumer mindset. The GOG, which people here have demonstrated acceptance of, is yet another launcher, the launchers less elegant to steam, and everyone is just fine with.

        It will probably work fine but it’s not an officially supported use case of the software. You can’t exactly submit a ticket to Valve if something doesn’t work right because the game isn’t even on their store.

            The person asked what the problem was and I explained what the problem was. Why are you butting in with this nonsense?

              That guy has a weird hard-on for the epic games store. There was a post about it last month and that guy was saying the same things.

      Funny you should mention Linux…

      “Linux is so much nicer than Windows because it doesn’t have all the bloat! Yuck!”

      “Epic is so much worse than Steam because it doesn’t have all the bloat! Yuck!”

      The hypocrisy is strong with this one.

        … What are you even talking about. I never even said the first statement so how could I possibly be a hypocrite lmao. And having features isn’t “bloat”. Your argument is just all kinds of nonsensical.
