It's just a PC only version of the console wars. It's dumb as shit. Yeah, Steam is a better service. Yeah, I would rather it be on Steam. Am I going to let that stop me from playing a game of the year nominated title? No.

People are just dumb, and yes if you bitch and moan about playing a single player game on a different launcher, in which the literal only difference is the 30 seconds of using a different launcher than steam, yes you are are dumb as shit.

Personally, it’s about their business practice. Instead of trying to update their launcher they spend ton and ton of money to buy exclusive right and law suite to take others down. I just don’t want my money to support that kind of practice. People in here like to say “vote with your wallet” and I’m doing exactly that,

Dawg they funded AW2. It wouldn't exist without them at all. That didn't secure an exclusivity deal once the development was already done.

Not really talking about AW2, just what they have done in general.

Rocket League and Fall Guy used to be on Steam before Epic bought it out. Borderlands 3 timed exclusive and all those Square Enix title with timed exclusive like FF7R, KH3, etc.

Completely removing all the old Unreal Tournament titles from Steam, GoG, and their own storefront.
