This is great, and it's nice seeing the old Epic coming back ; )

Yeah, it is good, although they are hoping to entice devs into using UE4.

This game is a good example of everything that is wrong with games as a service.

Your post is a good example of everything that is wrong with people making comments online.

Steam sucked ass when they were the pioneers, plus they started out with way less resources than Epic has now. That's not good enough anymore, yet all these publisher started storefronts- Uplay, Origin, etc. still start out terrible and only work up to barely passable.
If they don't come out the gate with all the features Steam already has plus some extra features to differentiate themselves, then it's clear they only intend to compete based on forced exclusives.

Well, that's not how software is made these days. Epic is doing it right: release a minimum viable product, get feedback, and iterate. These guys know what they're doing. It'll get better, and be a lot closer to Steam in a couple of years.

yep

If they knew what they are doing then pulling indies off steam that announced their games already is most definitely the most retarded thing to ever be doing.

Just look at Coffee Stains latest video

Is this the one?

To be more accurate, the streamer who was caught breaking the Anthem NDA didn't actually have any EA Origins games to lose according to the company who confirmed to USgamer that they checked and "the user didn't have any other games on their Origin account" and that EA "didn't delete anything."

So in other words he was a useless titwallet "influencer" who was desperately trying to get some clicks by making up complete horseshit.

Coffee Stain Studios aka, makers of Satisfactory pulled from Steam as well making it a epic store exclusive.

Which makes it a no buy for me.

Won’t slow me down a bit. Satisfactory is shaping up to be an awesome mix of exploration and factory building, and it has co-op. I already have an account from UT and Fortnite STW, so...might as well. So far, it’s the ONLY game I intend to buy on the Epic store, but more unmissable games may get coaxed into an exclusive on there.

First we complain about Steam's near monopoly.
Then we bitch about Valve taking 30% (not that it directly affects us) .
Plus we lament the thought of yet another launcher to install, all the while conveniently forgetting this fact alone does not mean diddly.
And we moan non-stop about Steam's DRM.
But when a competitor dares rise up their head we refuse to buy anything from them ... because reasons

We have become a bunch of self defeating "get off my lawn" grumpy old men.

"Alpha Steamer" I assume that's supposed to be Streamer, but main lesson to be learned here: services such as Origin, Steam, Uplay, Bethesda, etc. you don't own anything that can't be immediately taken away by some asshole corporation.

Ignoring the legality of the "consoles", apparently all the plastic tat in his store can be bought from Aliexpress for 1/2 the price. No Soulja branding, just the same cheap Chinese tat resold at a higher price, dropshipped upon order. Video comparing his stuff against the same products on Aliexpress here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yFwbrYCh3Oo. Dropshipping isn't new, but he's trying to big it up with his name. Exact opposite effect on me, but then I'm hardly his target market.

Companies capitulate too quickly on this nonsense. Here is a strategy that works - ignore them. Whether you're dealing with the left or the right, the various Twitter mobs have the attention span of a gnat and move on whenever a fresh news story lands.
