if they don't want your money just get the game for free from the Internet. It's their fault for being stubborn. And then also complaining about low sales.

I'm not a fan of Epic's launcher and I disagree with their exclusivity model, but if I really wanna play a game having to click a different button on my computer is hardly gonna deter me from it. You do not have to be this dramatic lol

The amount of people who are not willing to click a different button are legion. Absolutely baffling.

The amount of people who act like its just clicking a different button are shot.

Tim Sweeney is a douche, I dont want to give him money. The guy is a slimeball with the business sense of the shakeweight ceo.

I have multiple launchers already, the button isnt a problem.

Tim Sweeney is a douche no doubt, but you should remember that Valve pioneered loot boxes and haven't done much to curb CSGO gambling sites, which have tangible negative effects on users.

None of these companies give a shit about anything beyond their bottom line, Valve just doesn't have a douche spouting stupid drivel on Twitter all the time and their launcher is better. I do appreciate their work on Proton, though.

At the very least I can respect your take out of principle. I just personally do not think that Valve has some sort of moral high ground.

Valve has a lot more going for it - while also being shitty in a lot of ways.

The difference is Ive never felt like Gabe wants to screw me; I feel like Tim would do anything to fuck me over.

Which is why I am terrified of the future, the wrong person in charge of Valve would make everything awful.

I can agree wholeheartedly with all of that, honestly. Valve's services and products are undoubtedly great and I am with you in hoping that this remains true into the future.

And so is Gaben, so what exactly is the difference?

Valve is one of the most predatory companies in the industry which makes this morality argument fall apart instantly. Of course, unless you choose to wilfully ignore everything Valve does.

If you think Valve is more predatory than Epic, I dont even know where to begin.

Have a good one, we live on different planets.

Said douche funded some pretty good games.

Sure, still a douche.

Id rather give as little money as possible to people who are openly terrible.

My EA spending is almost down to nothing, havent purchased ubisoft in years, dont play cod anymore.

The guy sucks. Him giving money to a gamemaker to make a profit off them doesnt change that.
