It's been three years, yet Valve hasn't changed their policies to remain competitive. By all accounts Valve is letting this happen, but somehow they escape criticism and Epic is the bad guy. It's ass backwards.

Because Valve has the superior product (for AAA games at least). And they have done stuff, they added features, they increased Mac and Linux support, etc. Plus, they get plenty of criticism, did you hear how much people complained when they changed the look and feel of their launcher? But by and large the pros outweigh the cons.

Epic is doing policies that would have worked back in the days when people could only afford to buy maybe 1-2 games a year. Now a platform isn't defined by what games it has, it is defined by what features it has. Epic doesn't have features that appeal to me, and if they did I might consider supporting them. Otherwise them buying up exclusives to force me to use them just makes them assholes.
