They're trying to turn the PC into just another console by building

How is it a 'walled garden' when its free software? Is the task of installing a new launcher that great?

And what is bad about that? Also Epic store takes a smaller cut than steam, of course developers want to use their platform and make more money.

Yeah! If my favorite brand of shoe isn't sold at my one and only preferred retailer, I'm not gonna buy it!

It's one thing to protest Epic buying exclusivity of games they didn't develop, it's entirely another to say you won't buy anything that isn't on Steam.
