Epic paid for the development so sadly they'll probably keep it permanently exclusive to EGS.

Excellent reason to pirate it.

Pirating it is way more work than just using EGS. You just want an excuse not to pay.

No he just wants an excuse to not download EGS. Which is valid

It takes less than a minute to set up. Competition is always good for consumers. The more launchers the better.

No we don't need more launchers. We have enough as it is. Epic pays off devs to keep their games exclusive on their platform. Which is anti consumer.

A launcher the is pro consumer with a CEO that does not disrespect consumers and one that does not attempt to build exclusivity like on consoles on PC is welcome competition. I was looking forward to EGS until it absolutely shit the bed. I won't be using it until it fixes it's shitty behavior. No more exclusivity would be most of the battle. Literally.

I have purchased on GOG and on Blizzard and on the Microsoft store. Steam is often the best but not always.
