We're talking about a company that was raking in hundreds of millions of dollars from Fortnite, and buying exclusivity deals for tens of millions of dollars, being unwilling to implement a store feature that would take any half-decent developer a single day to implement.

We bring up this argument because it perfectly highlights how little Epic cares about creating a service that can compete with Steam based on quality. They'd rather ignore the basic functions for years and instead spend orders of magnitude more money on anti-competitive practices like exclusives.

you anti Epic people

And this tells me that also aren't willing to argue in good faith. You're disregarding my argument simply because I hate Tim Sweeney and Epic

If the allegations were just about steam keys, that would be one thing, but it looks like they're leveraging their large market share to essentially fix prices on other stores, even outside keys. For example, even though Epic charges a much smaller cut, 12% vs Steam's 30%, publishers are prohibited from selling at a lower price on Epic (or Steam will delist their game, blocking the vast majority of the game's potential audience).

I personally don't find buying a publisher to make some game exclusive to be all that scummy. Is it really so different from Warcraft being exclusive to Battle.net ? But I'm not to try to convince you that my reasons are more valid. I respect your reasons, I just ask you to also respect mine.
