I don't think the Fortnite funds are the only money they have, but you're kidding yourself if you don't think that's where the majority of this comes from. Also, please don't talk to me about greed. You're supporting one rich corp. over another. They all follow a very similar pattern, obviously. The difference? Steam has not outright paid for exclusivity of games (particularly when said games are about to launch). 

Epic is simply throwing a bag of money around, while their store is as barbones as it gets. That is not 'competition'. Never mind the contradictory statements from Tim Sweeney.

Wether you like it or not, it is competition. As a matter of fact, it is the best kind of. Epic stirs things up and exploits Valves weakness that has been present for years.

Just splendid. After years of touting a narrow interpretation of "competition is good for business", now gamer folk believes they can define what is allowed in a clash and whats a no-no.

What you people really love to not to be aware of, a digital distribution platform isnt a service for the end user alone. Its a service to whomever wants to sell digitally distributable products. If someone comes to the conclusion that a company offers a better opportunity to do business and provides a healthier environment for their products then a choice can be made.

The difference is, Valve never needed to pay for exclusivity. They still dont. Or why are there still prominent big games released via Steam? Their pole position was unrivaled for years due to the lack of competent opponents. Why waste resources? 

Yes. Nevermind whatever Sweeney once said. Its of no importance.
