"Ignore all games by Publisher/Developer"

:kermit Done. Same with other publishers that are already going Epic Spyware Store exclusive. :kermit

Nothing wrong with "competition," GoG is solid. It's just these other ones (and the publisher branded ones like Beth's launcher and Rockstar's) are utter shit and that's why folks are crying about it: They're fucking awful and not worth the development time and harddrive space (or security worries, hey oh 2FA Epic!).

I buy 99% of everything on Steam.  Occasionally I buy something on Origin or Battle.net.  Seems OK to me and is not a big deal at all.
:idont

Haven't bothered with the Epic store though.

epic store is nice enough to just give away all their games for free though

Hahahahahaha

Well youd have to have an acc with the games on it.

Good to hear that russian copy of Borderlands 3 / account I bought for 7 USD will work on my account

Even tho Ill just keep playing it offline, if I ever even finish it. Mediocre game

Doesn't seem that great, yeah.  So I haven't used it.  Anything I've had any interest in getting that's only on the Epic Store (all of two games) I just got on a console instead.

The best part of the Epic Games Store is how you can't move things around in the download queue. Also how that progress bar makes no sense and there's no key.

The best part of the GeForce Experience is how the change logs for it and the drivers basically tell you nothing.

Origin change log. :jeb
