Just because it happens within the console space, doesn't make it okay everywhere else. PC gamers don't like this sort of thing, primarily because it's anti-consumer and further fragments the playerbase into pieces. Some of us like having our games in a complete library, rather than fragmented across multiple storefronts, numbering by the years. Epic already has people on their storefront, Fornite kids and teen/young adult gamers. They can start by sorting out their store and PR, working on it from there would help a lot better than simply going around, flipping everyone off, smacking people with a towel, going "I own you, you're my bitch". It's highly arrogant of Tim to act this way in regards to not giving a fuck about what we want as a consumer, and instead saying the "devs will decide who wins", while he also buys the devs to his side. |
PC gamers don’t like it because it’s a tiny inconvenience to have a different launcher that loads up when they click on the game. It’s not as if the player base will be split up among Steam and EGS users. It’s not as if Steam users have to buy the game all over again. You might need to use a different launcher. Oh my.
I could see an uproar if they weren’t going to support the game on Steam after it launches on EGS later this year, but they’ve already said they would.
