    “it exists” is not enough reason to use something.

    If I start an online store that charges twice as much as Steam and has none of the features are you going to purchase from it just because It’S cOmPeTiTioN tO StEaM’s MoNoPoLy?

      Probably not. Do games on the Epic Store cOSt TwIcE aS MucH? Do you routinely buy goods and services with irrelevant features to your needs?

        So we agree that it’s unreasonable to purchase from a store that provides worse service just because it exists or to “promote competition”.

        EPICs anti-customer practices (such as trying to make everything exclusive) are reasons for consumers not to use them.
