Nothing more disappointing to me than seeing a game I might enjoy... and then it's only available on PC on Epic Games store. Why can't it be available on Epic, Xbox game store and Steam? It's so annoying, like you have no choice but to use Epic... which I would literally do ANYTHING not to use.

Yeah and get in return like 10 players? Only who has no faith in their game sells it to the demon

There are apparently 270 million Epic Store accounts made.

Now most of them don't buy anything and are probably installed on a whim for one free game ad now they've forgot their password, while a good chunk of them are probably 12 year olds playing Fortnite who don't even look at it and hurl all their pocket money into V-bucks so the rest of us get free games, but it's not an insignificant amount.

You know it also counts ghost accounts made while linking your steam to epic or when you use a game with EOS and it creates a dummy account yee?

like 10 players

Buying the game. I thought it was obvious but I guess not
