"The store is barebones" - This one I have zero gripes with.I play for the games, as most people do.

"Their security is sketchy" - I can get behind this one.I mean, its more of a privacy issue, but yeah, this one sucks.

"Exclusivity shouldn't be bought nearly two weeks from launch" - This one would be a problem if you had to pay extra to get it.But no, its as simple as downloading another storefront, all for free.So nah, no problems at all.

Again, I dont speak for everyone, but as I have written in my reply to Chazore, given the ammount of dev behind Epic, the success stories it has so far(there are only a few true, but this new Epic is also something relatively new too), and the fact that Epic seems to be doubling down on the tactic all seems to point that gamers in general are fine with this.

Regarding that last one, Epic doesn't allow 3rd party sellers to distribute Epic keys, meaning the games are launching at higher prices, for many, than they would as Steam releases. 

Not entirely true.  These Epic-exclusive games can be purchased and pre-purchased on the humble store.  I'm not saying this will result in lower prices, but it is a "choice" I suppose.
