I don't get it, I just don't know what the big fuss is about. I mean I backed shenmue 3 on kickstarter so that the game can be made, and so I can play it, well that is exactly what is happening. I have EGS, Steam, and PS4 so why is it so hard for people to adjust..

Some people are being so pity on kickstater's comment section saying they're going to pirate. smh

I'm very confused. Can someone explain to me why people are upset that they'll have to use a different launcher than they anticipated?

The problem is the EGS. Lack of features is one problem, but many have more concerns over privacy and their data. We already got a leak there and since Epic is 50% part of TenCent now, many just don't want all their Data (and the EGS takes a lot of data from you, more than Google does iirc!) to go to China.

So yeah, anybody who has concerns over their privacy tries to avoid the EGS like the plague. The lack of features is just the tip of the iceberg, the customer-unfriendly moneyhatting the cherry on top. Both those who are truly adamant against the store are mostly those who see that whole picture.
