That's what I have always found odd about the Epic thing. The vast majority of complainants don't have the "CCP sucks" stance to fall back on, because the hate for the Chinese government isn't part of their standards.
If it's all about exclusivity, how can I call myself a capitalist and get pissed because Epic is using capitalism to benefit their company? I can also be a capitalist and choose to not purchase said product, and that's fine. But why bother getting mad and ranting all over the damn place about it?
Perhaps I don't understand the situation, I've never bought from Epic. I also hate Steam and their annoying-as-fuck launcher and under no circumstance can I piss all over Epic and go praise Gabe Newell like he's the second coming of Jesus. I really just prefer the GOG model, let me download the game and install it from a file and run it from the "launcher" I have built in called Windows that already has enough spyware on it. I'm still more console anyway, worrying about my PC hardware on a daily basis is something I'd prefer to leave in the past.
Perhaps I just had a bad taste left over from when I was still on Reddit. I happened to mention interest in a game that I had no idea was an Epic exclusive (Metro Exodus) and my intent was always to play it on console anyway. It was like a man walked into a feminist convention. They hate you. It's totally personal to some people. Yeah, I probably shouldn't have been on Reddit and nowadays I only go to spectate the apes.
I don't think anyone likes exclusivity deals for the most part.
