That’s fair. I view it as just business. It certainly doesn’t affect me or any consumer. It only affects Valve, which I don’t care about. Maybe valve should pay

That’s fair. I view it as just business. It certainly doesn’t affect me or any consumer. It only affects Valve, which I don’t care about. Maybe valve should pay developers more. Epic takes far less than steam does from developers, so I definitely understand the appeal to developers.
- rstat1 3y agoIt does effect you. Its a reduction of choice that benefits no one. And since there's a vastly bigger audience on Steam vs the Epic Store, I don't really think that split matters as much as people would have you believe.
- therouwboat 3y agoIt does affect some consumers, without valve and proton, I would probably not be playing many games.
- zirgs 3y agoProton works for non-steam games too.

- scbrg 3y ago> It certainly doesn’t affect me or any consumer. $ ./EpicInstaller-15.17.1.msi bash: ./EpicInstaller-15.17.1.msi: cannot execute binary file: Exec format error Turns out Epic doesn't work on my platform of choice. Apparently it does affect me. Certainly.
- eddythompson80 3y agoNeither does steam on my opened router. This is a nonsensical argument.
- scbrg 3y agoNo it isn't. I can play lots of games on my machine. I can't play, specifically, Alan Wake 2, since it's unavailable for purchase either standalone or an a platform that supports Linux. Of course it's their choice where to release it, but saying, specifically, that it doesn't affect any consumer is just plain wrong.
