Competition can be fair, somewhat ok or unscrupulous. Say what you wish, I and milions of others won't support the latter.

U are full of crap sir. Crappity crappity crap :D Please go and enjoy ur version of Capitalism, and I will laugh once you wither from it.
So at what point did I insult you or make it personal? Are you only able to communicate with people who think just like you? What a boring world that would be.

Forums are full of people disagreeing...and debating, which is the presentation of thoughts followed by civilized counterpoints, each side discussing. I asked for your examples, not internet hyperbole and your response was an insult.

I do suggest you read TPU’s forum rules before you post further.

in the meantime, I will not be wasting the finite years of my life trying to “stick it to the man” and not play games from his launcher because the game is not on Steam. All that does is minimize the enjoyment part of my life I get from gaming. Not playing only hurts me and makes me older...still without having played said games that are in dispute.

I did say from an objective point of view. Now you are attacking someone for their own opinion. Just because you don't like something does not make a person who is looking at it objectively stupid and by the way there are millions of people who support the former so what. If Epic was as bad as you suggest there would not be multiple posts every week on what Epic is offering for FREE (Absolutely no cost to you).

He attacked first in a demeaning and pretending manner, yet you defend him. Wow :D

I won't take nonsense about how his reality is tough and evil, and I should get used to it (or is it not? yea we are getting somewhere riiightyyy?). And it's perfectly healthy to do that, you should try it too. With more words towards such bearers of such opininons like: "No thanks, you bitter little man."

Anyway, me and many ppl will stop supporting Epic unless they change their politics to something ok and/or awsome. My voice has been heard, and added to the plethora, more and more people will know and stop supporting, that's what matters, that's what can change something. Not words about waking up to being used to evil capitalism and doing nothing :) Farewell, I bid you rather a good day and a better company, dear sir.

It’s been heard, but your voice still hasn’t provided any proof, merely repeating internet hyperbole, despite my request for hard facts.

No one attacked you. If what I said was an attack then maybe interpersonal communication is not for you?

All my statements were part of civilized discourse. Had you responded in kind, we would have had what the civilized and educated world calls a debate.

You will however have a long time to wait for Epic to change. Their income and sales numbers are proof they and their model are being used by many more than the haters, and they are here to stay.

Oh wow, I just read that it's possible to play BIII with people on Steam. Technically it *will* be possible, but that doesn't matter right now.

So my outrage, see it justified or not, is now deprecated. If this is perfectly normal for all other games, I have little issues with Epic now.
