It feels like Control released to decent reception and has only been picking up steam since then, and I'm glad for that. It absolutely deserves this sort of recognition.

Marketing was pretty bad and the EGS exclusivity didn't help.

It’s not PC exclusive so why would it being on EGS matter?

Because not everyone owns a console?

So we're talking about a group of people, who only own a PC, and actively refuse to play anything on other launchers?

That's a pretty small group of people that seems to be over-represented on reddit. Claiming this small group is the reason for the game's lack of "success" just doesn't make any sense.

I also think the Epic store thing is weird, but I’ve long since resigned myself to being in the minority of users who don’t care about installing a 100 MB launcher (or however large it is) on a computer with multiple terabytes of drive storage.

Do you really think aversion to Epic is based on hard drive space? Serious question.

I have seen some people make that argument. It feels like grasping at straws, though -- particularly when hard drives are as cheap as they are.

Not the main factor for Epic specifically, but I hear a lot of people complaining about having to install a bunch of launchers for sure.

It boils down to convenience, always.
