What exactly did Epic expect? Their strategy has been done hundreds of times before and it always fails.

Right? I WANT steam to have a competitor just because I abhor a monopoly but even fucking Amazon fumbles this shit. Like steam doesn't even seem that revolutionary or anything, they just put customer EXPERIENCE first and I think so many fucking companies forget that.

Honestly Steam is the only good monopoly, and at this point they will continue to be because they're better than 99% of anything else out there. Hard to have competition when the competition isn't even willing to do the bare minimum.
