Fuck Epic, provide better service or fuck off. Using money to kill competition means they will turn around as soon as they can.

Don't care that much as long as I get my free games. Also, nobody has the money to kill Valve. Maybe MS, but I doubt even they are ready to spend that much

They don't have to kill Valve to appease publishers and sign shop-exclusive deals, making the PC gaming experience worse for everyone.

Whoever is still signing exclusivity deals with Epic hasn't been paying attention.

"Using money to kill competition" you said though

They will kill anyone else, like GoG, or any attempted contender.

But if they could, they would kill Steam in a heartbeat.
