Personally, I decided to have nothing to do with them once I heard they were getting exclusivity with certain games. Well, that combined with their connection with Tencent.

And understanding that they killed off the UT franchise (which I loved) so that it wouldn't compete with Fortnite (which I've never been interested in and consider more of an adjacent genre than the same one), it sealed my position of never intending to install the epic app.

Oh yeah, also Valve being the main force pushing Linux gaming while epic is firmly in the windows camp is another factor. I'm already going to be dropping gamepass when I make the switch and don't want to add any more reasons to consider dual boot instead of just running Linux.
