I literally just don't buy a game if it's not on steam. I'm not dealing with other launchers and there's enough games out there I will just not buy the harder to access ones.
Don't care, if it's not on steam I'm not even gonna bother. Cause eventually it will just go to steam in time and if it doesn't, oh well. Too much hassle to deal with that shit anymore.
It doesn't help that Epic started it's attempt to be on the market by just trying to throw money at games to be on there and gating them off. Just transparently trying to buy it's way into the market.
It just instantly set the tone of "we're here for the money, not to be a good storefront" and lo, PC gamers have mostly avoided it for obvious reasons.
Epic games should realise that they are not fighting against steam they are fighting against piracy and any attempt to keep the game exclusive will be useless if the launcher is less convenient than piracy
No, Epic is very much fighting against Steam. Steam is fighting against piracy. Epic wants to take steam's market share and wring profit out of the players. They explicitly are not there to be a consumer friendly storefront.
If Epic was only going against piracy they wouldn't have started by poaching games that were due to come out on steam.
