Some interesting industry news for you here. Epic Games have announced a change to the revenue model of the Epic Games Store, as they try to pull in more developers and more gamers to actually purchase things.
I mean that’s good for developers I suppose but I’m still not going to be buying from Epic.
Epis is very very bad experience. They are trying too hard to sell, pushing things in your face all the time while there is no option to start the launcher in your library - has to be ads. This library also contains a bunch of games you don’t own with the link “get”, which you have to “uninstall”. After playing a game for 65h, recently epic decided “you don’t own this game” when starting it from a desktop shortcut, but then changes it’s mind once you are in the library. This game also started kicking me out “by anticheat” at the same time (EASYAntiCheat), I think this is connected to epic weird message. Anyway I tried liking epic but it’s a bit too shit. I hope developers don’t choose to limit themselves and us to fucking epic.
There was Doom64, Fortnite, Gungeon, and like 3 others in Library, all with tge link “Get” before I clicked 3 dots and Uninstall. It’s not bs just because you haven’t seen it.
Yep, to show you that if you don’t want to use epic because of a certain bug then you shouldn’t want to use Steam because the same bug happened on their side

The launcher has your games on the left on the front page, it doesn’t show games you don’t own, cut the bullshit.

No other report of such a thing anywhere but sure buddy, that happened.
Not your buddy, pal… Why are you debating this at all? There’s no reason to make this up. Here’s a link about it: https://www.epicgames.com/help/en-US/c-Category_EpicGamesStore/c-EpicGamesStore_LauncherSupport/why-have-my-games-gone-missing-or-games-i-never-owned-are-appearing-in-the-library-a000090508. If I thought I’d have to prove this to a rando, I’d make a screenshot…
Oh so a bug happened and you’re acting like it was intentional?

Get rid of steam then.
These links are about steam…

The bug is just one of the problems though
