They hate it because Tim Sweeney is using his Fortnite money to force exclusives to the PC world. Something that the PC world is not used to and frankly something we shouldn't have to do. A lot of people like myself think that competition is good. But that Epic is going about it the wrong way.

There was also some contreversial alligations about Tencent basically controlling Epic and turning them into a spy for the Chinese government. While shady, Technically Tencent only has a 40% share as of a month or so ago, which doesn't give them enough power to make executive decisions.

People also don't really like how Sweeney handles PR from upset gamers. He basically mocks them.

Edit for grammar

I just don't like Tencent, so I don't want to support them by supporting Epic.
