    delisted all the unreal and unreal tournament games from all storefronts to reduce competition to fortnite. You can’t buy any unreal game legit anymore, either have to pirate or scrounge internet archive.

      to reduce competition to fortnite

      this doesn’t make any sense, these games were never competing with fortnite.

      delisting these games was a very shitty thing to do, but there is no reason for us to go around fabricating nonsensical motives to explain it
