Until then, what? You as the consumer have no incentive to use their worse service, and publishers clearly arent that enticed by it for how few exclusives the store gets?

Or until then, you want to reward a bait and switch that you know is a bait and switch to try and trick you into using a worse product?

Which option are you excited about here?

Their service is in no way worse: I buy games, and I get them.

I'm excited about the fact that someone provides an alternative to the monopoly that is Steam.

......... The ability to purchase is not the only aspect of a stores service

It's all I need: I buy a game, I download and play it. I don't need anything else.

Ok, and? All you need is water and moldy bread to not die, that doesnt mean water and moldy bread are equivalent in quality to a 3 course meal.

Having a bunch of features that I don't want or need is a waste. The Epic Store and Steam both do exactly what I need, so I don't care about any of whatever the other features are.

So, you dont own any non xbox controllers? Or want to play games properly with friends? Or, hell, want to find a non AAA game? Since epic has way fewer games, and loses a lot of indie darlings?
