    I’m not rooting for epic to overtake steam. I’m just against the people who hate Epic just for the sake of hating Epic. It’s cool to hate them I guess, but it doesn’t usually make sense. The biggest real issue is their store client sucks, but Steam wasn’t always as good as it is now either.

      They don’t owe Epic any respect or reasons to dislike them either. For all this “all companies are bad”, you are being a bit picky over when they can or can’t be judged.

      I gave you my reasons why I don’t like them. They are not jumping into the game client market in the early 2000s, they are did it 2018. They have had the blueprint ready, with many examples, but they didn’t care to match the other alternatives in the market. Which in itself wouldn’t be such an issue, but it does leave a bad taste when they make themselves the only option where to buy certain games. I don’t hate them because it’s cool, I hate them because they inconvenience me.
