Epic enshittified early. The whole system was terrible and they force it onto you. Here is valve actively making it easier to play your games while epic was like “It’s PC gaming, you get the good with the bad, suck it!”. You can’t simply buy your competition when your competition has more money than God.
Epic is failing because Tim Sweeney refused to innovate the platform.
That picture of Gaben badly needs the addition of someone feeding him grapes
I’m not busy…
Someone add the stylized female version of Engineer feeding him grapes
He’s going to evolve into hedonism bot from Futurama.
Why is it always this one photo of Gabe? It’s like a meme format that journalists use unironically any time Steam comes up.
Especially because IIRC he lost a bunch of weight since and looks better
I think because (health aside), it projects huge IDGAF energy… which goes well with the stories.
Maybe these corporate parasites that ruin the industry could learn the lesson that it is a lot more profitable to not be a piece of shit. And treat people with respect.
That’s a good point-- I’m on board with that.
Oh man, that picture of Gabe just keeps getting better.
for the love of god and gaming, please don’t buy ubisoft games
Don’t buy any game forced onto epic gamestore.
Didnt even know they left. Not bothered with any of their games in so long.
I wish Ubisoft goes back to the era of calling all PC players pirates and then not realising their games on PC because it’s too much effort. This way we won’t have to suffer their presence on our beloved platform.
Despite the corporate crust one has to deal with when playing a Ubisoft game, I do enjoy how hard they go on Diversity, Equity & Inclusion. The seemingly endless flow of bigoted tears that follows is priceless.
Sweet now they need to fix their file sizes. When I saw how much bigger newest Far Cry was compared to last one I did a hard pass. Learning that companies are doing this so you can’t install competitor’s games made me never want to play another Far Cry again.

Wait, wat? I hadn’t heard this explanation. I cynically thought it before, but I’ve never seen it suggested by anyone other than me.
Few weeks back saw there is a lawsuit about this issue. I think more related to console though. As companies are on purpose using uncompressed and unoptimized files more and more just to take up more space to deny other games. *EDIT Just for reference Far Cry 5 required 40gb in 2018. Far Cry 6 required 170gb in 2021. Three years and grew more then 4 times the size…
Jedi Survivor is 140gb. The MCC is about the same-ish size, but that one literally has six full games in one, plus all the multiplayer and customization.
You really don’t think AAA games are getting bigger because the companies want you to play only their games?
It’s been like that for years, especially on console. Why do you think Warzone takes up so much goddamn space?
Yay!
Have fun ubisoft, I will never notice. I ignored every game made by them by searching for them in the steam store.
On the right hand side there is a gear. Click ignore to take out the trash.
You can also ignore them on their developers page to blanket-ignore their games
