There’s a culture out there of people that love a piece of media so much that they will defend an unfeeling child murdering automaton called a corporation till their dying breath. In a perfect world, these people would be hanged. Thank you New York City good night!!
Mostly it’s centered on the Epic Games store. Yeah, Sweeney is scummy, but it’s not like Valve is squeaky clean either. And generally they’re not complaining about it because of Sweeney’s ethics, they’re complaining because a game they want isn’t available in their preferred treat dispenser.
why shouldn’t they complain? it’s another account to make, more security risk, less convenient, worse service, and the exclusivity was usually because of bribery rather than EGS being the publisher. nobody cares that fortnite isn’t on steam, but there’s no discernable reason for borderlands or whatever slop to be exclusive, that’s console shit and everybody who isn’t a fanboy hates it.
it’s perfectly capitalist to pay somebody not to sell their product at other stores, but that’s the kind of shit that makes normal people start hating the business, and that’s what we see with the response to EGS.
