Epic Games Store fuckbois mistakenly seem to think that if one is against Epic Games Store, then one must necessarily be a Steam (and only Steam, apparently) fanboy.
While that may be true in the case of some (too many) people, that is not the case for me. Steam does a ton of asinine dogshit that I hate. It's just that Steam does lesser amounts of asinine dogshit than Epic Games Store does. For me, it's not about "loyalty to Steam" as it is about "extreme antipathy to Epic Games Store," regardless of any other considerations, Steam-related or otherwise. Steam is mostly irrelevant to me as far as my loathing of the Epic Games Store is concerned.
See, because if a game is exclusive to Epic Games Store, that doesn't just mean that the game isn't coming only to Steam. It also means the game isn't coming to GOG or any of the other, objectively-better-than-Epic-Games-Store storefronts, either. That's kind of what exclusivity means, you know?
I'm just sick of this Console Warz™ mentality. It's not that Steam (or whatever) is better than Epic Games Store (even though they are). It simply is that Epic Games Store is shit, all on its own, on its own merits, pure and simple. And, as such, I refuse to use it.
