I feel the need to remind everyone that Keffals did not in fact fool any straight men into thinking he was a woman. That is just his sexual fantasy. Even if you are calling it bad, if you are accepting that it happened you are playing into his sexual fantasy. Don't do that.
THEY ARE NOT LEGITAMTE COMPETITION AS THEIR TIES TO COMMUNIST CHINA ARE TOO STRONG, THEY ARE ANTICOMPETITIVE ASSHOLES WHO POACH GAMES OFF STEAM, AND THEY AGGRESSIVLY CATTER TO THE REGRESSIVE LEFT!
Well, now there's nobody who can compete and they've shown their hand.
Maybe I'll find out how emulators work and play Gran Turismo 2 again. Seems like the only way to play anything without funding the enemy is to go back to the past.
GoG is a better competitor than EGS (and before you start with "But GoG did XXX which proves them in league with Big Feminism(tm), Epic is just as bad if not worse on that front). The only thing EGS has going for it is the periodic free games subsidized with their Fortnite and Tencent money (and even that is of marginal utility IMO since there's already way more games than time out there and a free game you don't really care about is just a waste).
The EGS launcher has been repeatedly shown to be scanning other files on your computer, showing that is at least capable of being spyware, and has ridiculous resource usage (on a good day it's several times what Steam or Galaxy use, and I've seen screenshots of the launcher using north of 5 gigs of RAM)
EGS does not allow even numeric user reviews (just taking them from other online critic sites) or user comments.
EGS still does not have any gifting functionality.
EGS (I believe?) still does not have built-in screenshot functionality
EGS took over 2 years to add foreign currency support
EGS is still continuing with their practice of literal bribery to force timed exclusives on their store.
None of the above are issues for Steam (even though they have been trending towards "correcting" review scores for controversial titles). None of the above are issues for GoG (on newer games. Screenshots are still iffy on some older titles which don't support the Galaxy overlay), and GoG has the advantage of the DRM-free downloads.
But GoG did XXX which proves them in league with Big Feminism(tm)
Epic is just as bad if not worse on that front
GoG is part of an initiative to offer menstrual leave, and exports feminist beliefs all over Poland and Eastern Europe via CDProjekt. They are also known to be collaborating with Netflix.
Epic did a cringeworthy "event" with a pink sky. Even Rocket League, which I personally will never forgive, only ran a women-only tournament. They didn't donate or take part in any feminist causes.
I'm no longer an Epic fanboy, but I still believe they are not as bad as most of their peers. The largest indictment against Epic is that they are working with the famously feminist Match Group on a lawsuit against Apple and Google due to shared interests in being able to bypass Apple/Google fees.
I don't have internal knowledge of what Epic does, but to the best of my knowledge, they are not comparable to the CDPR umbrella of companies in terms of feminist true believers.
Outside of feminism, they have a little more of a patchy record, you might remember they donated $100m from the sales of their war-themed season pass to "humanitarian" causes in Ukraine because of the poor timing of the release. I'm not sure I believe that Zelensky actually let that money help people and not be spent on arms.
I'm not compromising my thoughts to defend Epic. They have no shortage of flaws, a lot of which have been recent.
TL;DR: a regressive leftist tranny who ran a grooming discord server and encouraged kids to wrongfully transition. He is pissed the Kiwi Farms outed him for being a pedophile and thus intends to censor it by any means necessary.
As far as I can tell, nobody. He's just somebody who is visible enough to notice, and evil enough to be put down by normal people. Therefore, the people with actual power lend him their influence in exchange for his loyalty. That gives him, and the evil people in his orbit, the freedom to continue being monsters, and gives those in power their own monsters to command.
That's the way all this tranny-pedo-queer-whatever shit works. This time though, the tranny shit was really bad, so much so that it can't be hidden with lies and redefinitions, and the people outing it were especially loud and autistic.
But TPTB can't crack down on their pet monsters either. If the monsters see their kin being attacked, they might believe they're next, and without protection, they'd have nothing to lose by turning on their masters. If they're going down, they'd try to bring everyone down with them.
So, TPTB really have no other option but to go hard on this. There's no way out of it for them that doesn't involve the most transparent lies and illegitimate use of force they could get away with, or else they could plant a seed of doubt in the minds of their pets.
Game is currently being sold DRM free on gumroad because there is still no real steam competitor: https://thebignic.gumroad.com/l/domina
Go ask brad wardell to make a fucking competitor: https://twitter.com/draginol
Keffals is suspected of having confessed to committing rape by deception because he claims to have had sex with straight men without disclosing his trans status while defending said infamous stereotypical act.
Stardock is woke, sadly. Despite Brad having been MeToo'd: https://old.reddit.com/r/4Xgaming/comments/wyyxz1/whats_the_story_on_humankind_being_woke/ilzmw02/
Mega edit: Wardell needs to fire that fucking leftist crank, also I warned him about the cunt in PM's on twitter.

I still miss Impulse. Was actually the first digital game store I used, even before Steam.
For a time they had some publishers signed on (it was years back, so I don't really recall what it was, but I know I bought non-Stardock stuff on it).
Then it got bought out by or sold off to Gamestop and that was time to Nope out.
I feel the need to remind everyone that Keffals did not in fact fool any straight men into thinking he was a woman. That is just his sexual fantasy. Even if you are calling it bad, if you are accepting that it happened you are playing into his sexual fantasy. Don't do that.
Epic Games Store.
STOP DEFENDING THE EPIC GAY STORE!

I'm not defending it. I'm stating that there was a competitor and people said "Steam is all we need" and they are now reaping the rewards.
Everyone loved steam as that was where all the games were at, and it was also well designed.
Steam barely had any real competition back then and they won out.
When steam was released it was viewed as the worst thing in gaming ever
That's because it was, with Always Online. Now it "only" uses Online Verification. It still is the worst thing that has happened to gaming though.
Well, now there's nobody who can compete and they've shown their hand.
Maybe I'll find out how emulators work and play Gran Turismo 2 again. Seems like the only way to play anything without funding the enemy is to go back to the past.

There is 0 reason to use EGS.
I should also note that Steam likely got away with more than what GOG did because Valve is a bigger company than CDPR.
GoG is part of an initiative to offer menstrual leave, and exports feminist beliefs all over Poland and Eastern Europe via CDProjekt. They are also known to be collaborating with Netflix.
Epic did a cringeworthy "event" with a pink sky. Even Rocket League, which I personally will never forgive, only ran a women-only tournament. They didn't donate or take part in any feminist causes.

And Epic doesn't?
Listen I get it, you like Fortnite so you'll die on this hill but at least be consistent.
I don't have internal knowledge of what Epic does, but to the best of my knowledge, they are not comparable to the CDPR umbrella of companies in terms of feminist true believers.
GOG is literally breaking employment law to discriminate in favor of women.
Outside of feminism, they have a little more of a patchy record, you might remember they donated $100m from the sales of their war-themed season pass to "humanitarian" causes in Ukraine because of the poor timing of the release. I'm not sure I believe that Zelensky actually let that money help people and not be spent on arms.

Between this and your suggestion of Telegram you have to be one of the most Boomer like posters on this site.
who the fuck is keffals? does he have Backing, or something?
TL;DR: a regressive leftist tranny who ran a grooming discord server and encouraged kids to wrongfully transition. He is pissed the Kiwi Farms outed him for being a pedophile and thus intends to censor it by any means necessary.
Will no one rid us of this turbulent priest of the New Left?
no, i know that. i mean who IS he to have this level of pull?
As far as I can tell, nobody. He's just somebody who is visible enough to notice, and evil enough to be put down by normal people. Therefore, the people with actual power lend him their influence in exchange for his loyalty. That gives him, and the evil people in his orbit, the freedom to continue being monsters, and gives those in power their own monsters to command.
