He wont budge yet but will eventually, EGS is bleeding them a lot and the only reason why they lasted so long is because Fortnite/Vbucks.

I think half of the reason why they bought out those games is because of his hate for Steam but also for the fact they know that Fortnite wont last forever. I dont know if he's the one who greenlit it or someone who works with them pushed for it but since they laid off the guy who helped him push the propaganda machine for EGS and the deals changed, I cant see them staying the way they are.

Money talks and eventually when enough red is on their financial numbers, he'll start sounding different.

Also I still cant believe he goes on social media and argues and tells his opinion out loud like that , thats bad PR lol.

What gets me, is that they bought those games to take away from Steam just as their hype cycle was dying down. Rocket league dropped off the radar somewhat after the purchase and is just that game ppl played years ago. Fall Guys was a meme game, and that fell off pretty quick, so I'm wondering why they spent that much money on those two, when both did not have long lasting staying power, when they could have spent all that money on say, finishing UT?, or a brand new IP, something to last as long as Fortnite has.

It's just weird how they are banking on just FN/UE alone, while Valve has:

A headset

Handheld

Gamepad

features being updated for Steam

Steam Nextfest

Still making games (just not the ones we want lol).

Epic is just sitting there, not improving anything but parts of their engine, but still pissing away tons and tons of money on fake alliances, ones that don't even last a decade or more, or don't seem to be reciprocated in the way a natural partnership has (Like the deals with SE, and how SE is just "nah fuck that, I'm going back to Steam", and Ubisoft just abusing the money deals and getting to sell on their own storefront on top of that). 

Their propaganda machine was manufactured shortly before EGS launched, as the court case shows, they basically had everything planned out ( only it didn't pay off at all).
