This is just the PS3 vs Xbox 360 game wars but worse. Stop being loyal to corporations you imbeciles, of course a dev will say whatever makes him more money. Including appeasing the fellating steam fanboys. The game could have gone completely unnoticed if it wasn't on epic, barely any sales, and even a minor bump in visibility would have created more steam sales regardless if users knew if it was available on epic for free. Unless I see numbers I don't care what this dev says and you shouldn't either.
But you're all rabid to hate on epic when both stores are just bum ass corporations and will circle jerk each other off on why your team is better.
You couldn’t pay me to play a game on epic. It’s not even a boycott. They just suck and I’m not broke. I can buy my own games and I’d rather pay than put their software on my pc let alone play on their platform.
Literally it's just a storefront. If Epic offered you $100 and you didn't take it because "they suck" you're just an idiot.
I think the store and the library search sucks on EGS. You can't even tell what games you have purchased and for what platform (pc/ios/android). Best you have is the purchase history on their website and app.
I use Heroic Launcher (on Arch btw and Bazzite for kids) and that luckily works really well for displaying games that you have bought on PC. But there's no such alternative for iOS or Android, and even Heroic doesn't show you what games there are in your library for mobile.
