What amazes me is how people can be so upset over a store and want it burned down though majority don’t even play on the platform or just don’t have anything better to do than complain on a online forum lol
As for me I don’t mind if both stores exist, whatever business they do is up to them, just give me the games to play is all I care

See, the problem is, when you don't care, you become a part of that problem. if you don't care, you wouldn't really put anything forward to say, just like someone says "I have no problems" not saying anything tom someone who has said issues.
I don't mind both stores existing, but I absolutely loathe what EG is doing to PC gaming, twisting it into a "we're the heroes" and getting people defending them, while they build up their own monopoly and turn PC gaming into console gaming for their own benefit and the benefit of the few greedy devs/pubs.

I'm not saying that other platforms aren't doing things even better, but this is just a reality of the situation. Epic is likely just offering the overall best deal to the publishers/developers, not just with taking a smaller portion of the profits, but also likely by offering these publishers/developers a lot of money for these exclusivity deals. At the end of the day all video game companies are in this business to make money, and if it makes commercial sense to take Epic's deal, then they are going to do it.

But that's the thing, we've clearly got other engines out there. Plenty of devs using other engines at that, so it's not all down to that measly 5% for using UE, but even then, Discord does the cut better. It really is just down to EG throwing around FN money and saying "if your game sells like shit, we'll cover you, despite it being our own fault", and I know they cannot keep that gig up indefinitely, let alone the 12%.
Yeah, business is business, that goes without saying, but that's a half arsed excuse to excuse bad practices, bad timing and just generally being greedy and non caring.
Step right up come on in, feel the buzz in your veins, I'm like an chemical electrical right into your brain and I'm the one who killed the Radio, soon you'll all see
