The problem is these stores (Epic but also the Microsoft Store and Amazon's PC game store) only come along because some executive says "hey what if instead of Valve taking a cut from most PC games, we took a cut from most PC games", there's 0 interest or intent for them to be competition (as seen by the exclusives) for Steam or improve the developer/user experience.

Any time these massive companies offer a cheaper subsidised alternative to any existing product it's to push out the smaller players with less resources and build their own monopoly.

Well it's not GAAS(yet), it has 0 mtx so far.

They use regional companies I think, for Europe they use French chocolate (la maison du chocolat).

Pretty sure the latest update with a load of paid mod bs is what caused the bug lol
