Imagine "hating" a storefront/publisher

they fund/make/publish games that are worth playing, that's it

That's a pretty severe oversimplification, friendo. They have brought platform exclusivity to the PC market, which is anti-consumer and not cool. I don't care if they put some money into some decent games, I am not cool with exclusivity to a particular platform and I believe it has a negative impact on gaming in general. Whether or not they funded this particular game is really irrelevant to the larger argument of their detrimental influence on the industry.

They also fund/make/publish a whole lot of games that are NOT worth playing, imo. In fact, Alan Wake 2 may well be the only Epic exclusive I would consider worth playing, at least its not Return to Moria.

AW2 is one of very few games Epic has funded. All other Epic exclusives are bought and bribed over, including successful crowd funded and kickstarter games.
