It's tiny in your eyes, but that is expected, because to you, it's nowt of any sort of issue to even see. "you need to use a different launcher, oh my" You see that there, that's when you just lose it. They've effectively said they will support those that "own" it, not the people that could still want to purchase it on Steam in the future, which they won't be able to. Of course they have to support those existing customers, do you think it'd be sane in any plane of reality, to just cut off millions of consumers on one storefront alone?. I mean really, do you?. It's a no brainer, of course they wouldn't, because that's asinine and completely bonkers to even suggest the thought. 

You make it a valid question with the amount of a fuss you're making about it. Epic removing it from Steam and not supporting any non-EGS version of the game is about the only act that would warrant such a response. Which makes it hilarious that you'd call the question asinine, lol.

Imagine what MS did with Mojang except after awhile they stopped selling Minecraft on other consoles. But as someone who already bought the game on another platform, you still get all of the support and future content. Why be so upset then? And if you're a new player, you just use a different storefront. The console space wasn't a good example because in my scenario you'd have to buy a whole new console to play Minecraft. In the PC space you literally download a new, free launcher, and buy it there. Oh my.

I guess with master race status comes master race privilege.

And yet it could easily be summed up as "that's just business/capitalism", because we've seen excuses like that thrown out before for years now.

Except MS didn't do what Epic had planned to do, if you'd read up on that, and then read up on the follow up that Basil posted. 

New players on Steam wouldn't be able to purchase the game from the storefront, had it gone the original course of action that Epic had planned. Imagine if MS bought MC and then pulled it from being sold everywhere else within a few months time. Support for existing customers, yeah, that's fine, but new customers that expected it to be sold there, like it had been before, what about them and their choice?. Not such a big deal is it when you're not them, nor care about what they think right?. 

Using the priv status as a comeback isn't really a good one, oh my....

Also, if you want to get sarcy, I wouldn't, because we know where that goes on here. You got sarcy the moment you used the "it's another launcher, it's not a big deal", so let's not act like you weren't acting in that manner when you first jumped in here.
