They’re so desperate to make their store front a thing πŸ˜‚

It is hilarious.

Epic tried getting users by giving them free games. But that didn't translate to increased sales. And now they are trying to woo developers to abandon Steam, hoping that way customers will be forced to buy from Epic.

They don't understand that developers are on Steam because customers are there. And what does a customer get when they use Epic over Steam?

I just deny the existence of any game that is an Epic Games exclusive title.

Screwed over is what they get

They understand that devs are in steam because it's where users are. Do you think they are stupid? There is no much they can do to bring users if there are no games, they are 15-20 years behind Steam in years of existence.

So true. All they have to do is WAY FUCKING MORE THAN THEY ARE WILLING TO.

Fuck Epic
