I have an account from when I wanted to test out the Fortnite Cross-progression but I don't see me buying stuff on there, They may be touting the greatness of 88% to the devs but for consumers they have increased the price games will cost.

Nope, never will

Then how will we play Borderlands together???

That people are are being fanboys over PC storefronts makes me feel a bit sick.

I'll get one if they're selling a GAME that I want to play. Because, you know, games are the important part to me, not which store I buy it from.

Playing Borderlands with you sounds very tempting. Don't worry, we'll figure something out 

What cheaper service? Games that are both on Steam and Epic have both mostly the same pricetag. The publishers are the ones that cash in the winnings, the consumers get squat! Actually less than squat, considering that the other stores all offer more than Epic does

Free games couldn't get me into EA's store either, so why should the Epic store's free games be able to do so?

Also, Tencent owns 40% of Epic. I don't want the Chinese government to know more about me than my own government.

Signed up on their webpage for free games, still haven't downloaded/installed their client.

Makes me even sicker when said people citing fanboys, are willing to defend bad practices and anti-consumerism. 

Just because you want something, doesn't mean you have to throw away everything to get it you know. having standards is nice to have, than having nothing and having to belittle others because you wish everyone's standards to lower to ones own. 

That, and people are allowed to just not sign up to a storefront you have you know?. If it makes you sick about people's decisions, then I think you need to rethink life in general, if that's what makes you sick.

Metro only allowed for a cheap $5 in the states, not the rest of the world, other countries, which actually ended up paying more, because EPic don't want to pay for the sort of costs that Valve still pay for. WWZ devs are offering a $5, but that's paltry compared to what you can find on Steam, let alone GoG and GMG/itch.io

Epic also said they won't be allowing for key sales on sites like GMG, for games that are exclusive to their storefront, since they want to cut out everyone that isn't them and a publisher entirely, which doesn't benefit the consumer at all.

Also, Tencent now own 48.4% of EPic's shares now, very, very close to owning half of the company, and thus gaining a more equal footing in their own say for the company. Tencent also have their own storefront in the West now, which boasts more features than EGS, and will give Tencent more of a footing to eventually buy up even more shares (this is how Chinese "competition" acts). 

All Epic Games Store exclusive releases are really upsetting, but they didn't steal Cyberpunk yet, so I'm not gonna join Epic Games Store for now.
