Aeder@lemmy.world 13 hours agoThe Epic Store has always been anti-consumer so it’s no surprise he defends that kind of practice.

Wow, amazing. Nevermind that most those giveaways are on sales for peanuts anyway. And you get them on garbage launcher.

Great, they take smaller cut. At a low, low cost of being a black hole of exposure. But hey! They do take a smaller cut from the two copies you do sell.

They do that to try to gain marketshare. They should try to just stop being shitty instead and improve their client. And get off Xitter.

It’s not about availability, it’s about marketing. I don’t stumble across porn games on steam, but I regularly do on Epic.
