re: this article.

The title is a joke. “Free, but you have to make an EGS account” is a bit too rich for me.

    Epic: It’s not right that if you want a game on your smart phone you have to go through Apple or Google!

    Also Epic: if you want this game you have to go through US!

      Tbf, devs don’t have to, and in fact Epic will pay them to be exclusive, unlike Apple who makes devs pay for it and gives no choice.

      Though it’s still annoying that Epic does that, from a consumer standpoint. I can’t play any Epic-exclusive games because their CEO has a personal vendetta against my platform (Linux), so their company can die for all I care.

        Fair, but it shows that Epic only cares about Developers (like themselves) and not Consumers (their customers).

        “It’s not fair to force Devs to use a specific service. It’s perfectly fine to force users to use a specific service.”
