"Fortnite" maker Epic Games is laying off about 830 employees, or 16% of its staff, and divesting online music platform Bandcamp, the company said on Thursday.
Then there is zero reason for you to buy games from Epic. That is a function that can be performed for free. It’s like paying for air or sunshine. What kind of idiot pays money for something they can get for free?
You just seem to be completely ignoring the fact that I’ve already addressed all the features you brought up and most of them are pretty useless or are available to pirated games anyway. Certainly they are not worth actually spending money on when GoG and Steam do all those things and much more. Even if you had cash to spare and you just wanted those features with minimal hassle, there is still zero reason to buy from Epic.
jfc I’ve never seen someone defend so vehemently a product not having features. Epic is a multibillion dollar corporation with apparently thousands of employees, they don’t need you to bootlick for them.
I buy my games where they’re the cheapest and I buy them so the devs can continue making games, you’re pretty fucking dumb to waste money to have access to useless features!

Oh man, I’m about to blow your mind then!
STEAM KEYS
Devs get more money since Valve doesn’t get their 30% cut and they are cheaper than the Epic counterparts! It’s a perfect solution!
What is the status of Epic’s key program btw, is that something they don’t have? Shocker.

I literally use Steam Proton, Steam Input and my Steam Deck nearly every day, and SteamVR at least a couple times a month. All things Epic doesn’t have. Gaming would be super annoying if I was actually forced to use EGS. Billion dollar company with thousands of employees, btw.

Oh wow, so you’re part of the absolutely miniscule minority of players who need those features, congrats, it doesn’t justify all the hate for the alternatives when the majority doesn’t need it. By the way… how do you use those features on GOG exactly? 🤔
Linux users, Steam Deck owners, VR players and those with Playstation or other non-standard controllers account for a fuckton of people. Easily in the millions to 10s of millions. If you don’t want to take advantage of those features, that’s your problem.
Linux: 1.82% (going down in August, includes Deck users)
VR headset owners: 1.92%
And there’s overlap.
Controllers aren’t part of the survey but there are other options to use a PlayStation controller on other platforms… I mean, you use GOG too, you said it yourself!
