Why is that so important? If you like the game and want to support it, buy it
But if you don’t like the platform and don’t want to support it, what do you do then?
And a lot of people don’t like epic games for a number of reasons.
If it's just a game launcher then whatever. Is the game any different over there?
The game’s not different. But the launcher is missing some features and also, it’s not just a launcher but a store and some percentage of the money you pay for the game goes to them. And if you don’t want to give Epic Games money (which would be fair, considering their relations with for example tencent), buying a game there is out of the question.
Understandable. However, these days it's 1. Buy from mega Corp number one or 2. Buy from mega Corp number two.
They got us by the balls
I don't support shit tier game storefronts.
