    I don’t know, I don’t care. I don’t often buy things on Epic, myself. Seems to me that “free games” is a pretty big thing to dismiss out of hand, though. That seems like a good thing, free games.

    In any case the fact that Epic isn’t my store of choice for anything but exclusives and free games also means I don’t spend my time posting stuff about how much they suck. That seems like an undue amount of effort and attention for my what? Fourth, fifth favorite online games store on PC.

    There’s also nothing particularly bad about it. Bit of a simple, feature-light UX. Free games is nice. They are smart enough about allowing third party logins, so you can easily import your games automatically into other, better launchers like GOG Galaxy, Launchbox or Heroic. Seen worse.

      Says he doesn’t care, then goes on to engage in a conversation about it and writes an essay

        Ah, the killer retort of the online argument. “If you don’t care about this thing I’m mad about for no reason, why are you explaining how I’m wrong about it?”

        See, the answer is “because you whining about it on the Internet bothers me more than the thing you’re mad about”, which doesn’t make anybody involved look good. I didn’t say I was a dignified commenter, I said the console wars nonsense is too undignified even for me.
