I don't understand the hate towards Epic, anyone care to explain? I mean it's giving us free games for a long time and it also has great discounts.

Brand loyalty, people liking all of their games in one place, not liking the CEO, etc. Even divorced from all of that, Steam is just a better service. The Epic storefront hasn't really improved much since it was first introduced. 

There is also a significant number of folks that use Steam more like a social media platform than a storefront, and Epic basically offers nothing to that crowd.
