I get that Steam is where everything and everyone is at. And that the user experience and functionality is best there BUT having another player to try an compete with Steam is a good thing, right?

If anyone can try, it’s the Fortnite Bank.

So, why the hate?

    So you don’t like them because they could potentially be bad in the future?

    That argument is tough to come up with, phew.

      Whichever gaming store I buy into, I am going to spend thousands on games. I need to be able to trust that they’ll still exist in the future.

      I trust (whether correctly or not) gaben more than sweeney.

      Of course, the smart thing to do is buy from GOG and keep the games backed up yourself, but failing that, steam is the next most reliable store front.

      This all boils down to a personal opinion though.

      No, EGS is plenty shitty now; what they’re saying is that EGS’s one singular saving grace - the free games they give away - likely won’t last for the reason they outlined.
