I had a feeling something like this was happening behind the scenes. I'm not surprised and I'm not even disappointed since this is the kind of behavior I expect to see from big companies like Epic these days. :\

Just gives me more reason not to do business with them and to take my money/time/downloads elsewhere.

Epic's poor security issues from running vB in the past, the UT4 launcher requiring more personal info than usual + a new forum account (to another vB!!!), and then there's Sweeney's last year face heel turn when he supported a certain hateful loudmouth who got kicked off of youtube, which more or less has some implications of "free speech" and "anti-censorship" for the Epic Game Store in the years to come. (read: probably likely the H-games Steam rejects, you know, "to stick it to steam!!1 .....huh..... what's regulation???? what do you mean we can't sell those valuable 'cute anime' games????? this is a sensor sheep" - tim 2021 probably)


also the technical issues of the actual store part of the store. no carts = automatic bans for multiple purchases during a megasale event lol. I don't think GoG had that problem when they started back when they were sketchy for relying on warez site referrals for building the brand, and scene rips for distribution.

I remember the earliest version of Steam had more features than the EGS right now.
