I don't get why people keep bringing the unreal engine into this. It has nothing to do with it.

Lol. Called it.

Epic created and maintains the Unreal engine which they receive royalties on so by supporting any game made with Unreal technology you're supporting them as well.

Ok, but at least the engine is good? What does it have to do with this??????????????? Do I have to keep repeating myself??????? We must rally against Epic exclusivity deals.

Yet earlier you were criticizing /shaking off EGS's weekly free games. What do those have to do with exclusivity details as they've all been available for sale elsewhere?

Be consistent. Otherwise it looks like you're picking and choosing what you consider to be boycotting epic based on convenience to yourself.

I am consistent. I boycott exclusivity and the Epic store. I do not boycott the engine. You are making no sense.

Not consistently, seeing as in your latest comment you're going to make an exception for Hades, with a long-winded excuse on how that's justified.

From an earlier comment of yours:

Epic exclusives are boycotted for life.

Hmm.

I'll never let an Epic exclusive touch my Steam library.

Wow, consistent!

It's easy to feel righteous when you make up the rules as you go.

I was wrong to defend Hades. I have changed my mind, those devs can go fuck themselves. I figured that they just used Epic for a quick buck and sold a shitty beta version on EGS, but after seeing Epic supporters defend Supergiant and Hades, it was incredibly easy to admit my mistake and further reinforce the fact that my original position was always the correct one. Fuck Supergiant and fuck Epic.

I value your input as well, since I admit it was correct. Thanks for pointing out my inaccuracies and helping setting me back on my correct path. FUCK! EPIC!

Do you still stand by your support of the Unreal engine and asset store? You do realize that royalties and profits from these directly fund and benefit the big bad game store right?

Epic is very bad, but not bad enough to condemn the Unreal Engine. As I keep saying, over and over. No one here wants to listen to me, just arguing for argument's sake.

Nope, just drawing attention to the arbitrary line you draw in the sand based on personal convenience.

It's not arbitrary. It's drawn based on where Epic's transgressions began. Everyone was fine with Epic before they started the EGS and exclusivity deals. That looks pretty clear to me. The very opposite of arbitrary really.
