You're an Epic fanboy aren't you?
I mean it's like console fanboys saying that you can't really see the difference after 60fps...
Also, sorry but i clicked upload by mistake, i edited the post to be complete btw

Edit: Also, i'm not a Steam fanboy by any mean... i support GOG all the way if you ask me. #FUCKDRM (Especially things like Shitnuvo or other rootkits)

After you came to a dead end just blame someone as a fanboy after you have been logically proven wrong with solid source of facts in a conversation. You can also use search engines to find out things before making any silly assumption.

And your bonus is here. https://www.gog.com/forum/general/epic_store_games_you_can_play_without_the_epic_launcher/page1

Sorry, I'm not going to waste any minute with you. Believe what you want in your pinky dream.

Nope, not at all, i'm from being in a dead-end, just tired of arguing with the same debate everytime there's something about Epic. Also, TheVerge is far from being a solid source of facts, can we talk about how those "professional" pc builders do their work? You detourned this conversation from Rocket League to Epic's quality, which was not the subject. If you want, i could talk about mods, features, steamemu and other stuff for a long time but we'd both get bored as we already know why people won't go to the shitty store. Most of my assumptions are somewhat correct, and things like Discord were already confirmed due to a risk of a community backlash. Of course, i wasn't in Tencent's mind so i don't know what were their motivations but that's the most plausible possibility. Companies aren't as bad as you think, they're not white but they're not black either. Again, people are hating on Epic due to their continuous anti-consumer practices, why do you think they were considered even more hated than EA at one point? Both did and continuously do terrible business practices.

As for the bonus, yep, that's possible on some games, mainly the ones who refused to have a DRM attached at first. You can notice that there isn't really any epic-exclusive in the list of drm-free titles, and most of them are indies. If your point was to say that Steam has more DRMs than Epic, check https://www.gog.com/forum/general/steam_games_you_can_play_without_the_steam_client/post1 (sorry to not have it in a link maybe, as i'm on mobile)
Yeah you can do that on both, uPlay was always known to be a pain on both Steam and EGS and so is Origins. Those were also Steam-wannabes at one point but failed and realised they would sell more games on Steam anyways (kind of what is happening with EGS, though, they still survive by having Fortnite, Unreal Engine and the daily users who only come for the freebies [i can tell you that i'm technically one of those, i sometimes use it for the freebies, but i won't ever buy anything from them, and i uninstall the store when possible]).
GOG is a good place for DRM-Free content x)

You can know that Epic is like 2^25 times worse than Steam right? Most Epic Haters don't hate them for the shitty practices they used to do, but they hate them because of the shitty practices they continue to do. Steam never bought out any exclusivity deals to slow down their concurrence... Valve lets you use Source without secretly taking all your money to a 20% - hidden close in your contract. Please also note that, by (totally legally of course) decompiling both storefronts, you can see pretty quickly that Epic is bad for your internet privacy. Why would we encourage something like this where the concurrence gives us a much more complete store that doesn't care about the OS you're using, that lets you create and use mods (in fact, Steam was first made to only be the workshop part, but later evolved into a distribution service for valve games to finally become a general game distribution service), that lets us use any controller in any game, that lets us chat, ... most companies you're naming weren't that bad... Amazon, Walmart, Costco, Best Buy and GameStop did have some crunch but it's not comparable to the huge crunch that fortnite devs had to support... Why do you think they can release new cosmetics pretty much every week? Magic? Nope, just exploiting the poor people working their ass off to get money.... I would agree that Apple is a pretty shitty company aswell, they're even marketing their devices as protection for your privacy when they do collect as much data as Microsoft does.
For Google, your ISP or cable company, they never tried to hide that they collect your data, it is known, Google never tried to censor some sites for saying "stop using Google, they collect your data" or something. Epic on the other hand, censors everyone who talks about honk kong. Clearly, people have a reason to hate Epic, trust me on that.

Your post makes it very obvious that you are, for the most part, completely clueless about the shady practices of Steam & every other company.

your point is that they are free of criticism from the public because most other companies are just as bad if not worse ,which to me is bullshit

It's only bullshit to you because you're unaware of what goes on behind closed doors at the places you still do business with. Don't be so obviously naive & ignorant.

Is it going to be f2p on consoles?

I guess this is happening because the game is old and has prob lost a lot of popularity to Battle Royale games.

damn, this is really showing who is racist around here huh lol

Captain_N · Jul 24, 2020

so will they sent me a free physical copy for switch? I think not......

free to play, so what. I remember when just about every game was free to play once you bought it.
No one remembers how it used to be? You bought the game and then you did not have to pay to play multiplayer online. You know like age of empires 2, doom, you know pc games mostly.

The only games you had to pay to play online was mmos.... in the late 90's and early 2000's.

And those that but hurt that you need windows to play it, Is it so hard to boot windows 10 off a second drive or partition just to play the game. Its not like you have to actually buy a copy of windows 10. Must be to hard to select a different off from a boot menu.....

Is it free already? Very fun game.

Still one of the best multiplayer games ever!

Glad more people will get to play this great game

Edit: Leaving Steam? Assholes

I usually heavily promote Epic Games Store. However, this time I agree with you.

I like your post, except the last paragraph. You do indeed have to buy a license to use Microsoft's Windows 10.

Thing about epic is that's it's like steam but with no workshop, market place, and other community features and no linux/mac os support.

Steam needs competition. Full stop.
They may seem nice now but they can go openly dirty at any moment.
I don't care about workshop, marketplace, cards, hats and achievements. That's all rubbish.
They should make the UI a lot more optimized though %so it can run smooth on potato pcs
and add forum.

%steam should do that too. Let's go back to 2004 UI.

Competition is good but it's completely pointless if one of the competitors can't compete.

They do compete and in a key area they outdo.

Steam tends to have games go on sale to mere pennies but I suppoes you can't beat free.

Steam's sales are rubbish.
All of the stuff that becomes "pennies" can easily be pirated and has no multiplayer mode.
The good stuff that you need to pay to play online for, that good stuff its always expensive even if 50-80% off.

No.1 better about Steam is the review system for games.
And everyone already uses Steam, but EGS is really breaking that habbit.
