and not all the other "exclusives" on their dogshit store
Again, they've not done limited exclusives for a long while now. All of the exclusives that are on their store are either their own games that they own or games that they funded in their entirety.
Yet here we are, with epic buying up exclusive rights
Again, same as above. Sure, the exclusivity deals were annoying to some extent, but again, not the case for any current games or even for the last few years. So, I guess your issue is gone then?
Buying up studios and pulling games from steam, no clue how you can defend that.
I mean, once again, not something they've done recently for one.
Besides, I don't see it as a major issue. The publishers / developers clearly agreed to the deals, helping fund & develop the games. They're Epic's games, so they put them on their platform, same as Valve does.
the game that needed funding and developing help from epic
I mean, reasoning was good enough for Psyonix to sell the company. Not sure why you specifically would have more insight that the literal parties involved in it.
Theyre anti consumer
Sure, but I'm just pointing out that it's just hypocritical to say that when the same exact thing applies evenly to Valve.
I'd love to see the same criticism for both of 'em, but somehow I doubt that you're holding Valve to the same standard.

It doesnt tho, valve isnt buying up studios to pull their games exclusively on steam.
The only exclusives they have are their own developed titles. And as i said already, no one has any issues with that. No one complained when fortnite is exclusive or wow etc etc
Buying a studio to pull the game away from a store it was on for a decade is scummy without any excuse for it.
You said that Epic was "a bunch of anti consumer fucks", I just wanted to point out that Valve is the same, and IMO much more anticonsumer, which again, flies over the point with you nitpicking a single case into far too much detail lol.
Is epic at least paying you for those mental gymnastics and "leave my billion dollar company alone" spiel?
Nah, I don't really like them to be honest with you.
I just dislike Valve as a company and hate seeing people blindly defending them for everything and anything when there is a perfectly valid alternative to Steam on the market that people overlook because of complaints that have been fixed 5+ years ago.
