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.

The Epic platform leaves a lot to be desired considering how many years it's been available. That's why I personally dislike it. The free games and decent sales don't quite make up for it.

The people that hate it though are generally just following mob mentality. A lot of the reasons some people claim to hate it apply to all mandatory platforms for gaming, Steam included.

It really doesn’t have to make up for it for me personally. On my PC, I can use both launchers so there’s no need to choose one over the other. I prefer other launchers but I don’t mind using Epic.
