"Supporting competition" is not a good enough reason to use a shitty service. If I start a service that charges twice as much as Steam and has none of the features would you use it in order to "support competition"?

If the only reason to purchase from Epic is "they exist" that's not good enough.

I will happily avoid Epic's attempts to be a monopoly now over worrying that Steam might be shitty in the future.

It's super weird to me that you guys think epic is trying to be a monopoly. Epic had 0.00001% of the market. In their wildest dreams they might expect to get ten percent.

Epic had 0.00001% of the market.

The numbers for Fortnite, available on EGS but not Steam, tell otherwise.

Just because they aren't good at it doesn't mean they aren't trying very hard to do so, and will clearly be very shitty if they ever achieve it.
