Tim’s not taking a fight to anyone. Nobody wants to use your store Tim.

I don’t think anyone’s gonna complain about Epic making the client better.

Only they should’ve done it first.

It's funny how he claims EGS is profitable, while ignoring the costs of the cashbacks and free games.

Anyway, usually I'd applaud any company improving their PC efforts. But I have no doubt that Epic will resume money hatting 3rd party games as soon as EGS gets a decent marketshare. Let's hope they never achieve this.

I will say this, at the very least Steve Allison isn't a dumbass like Tim. He seems to realize that you can catch more flies with honey, unlike Sweeney who thought that you can make the entire PC gaming communtiy hate you and then herd them to your store like cattle.

They need to do a lot more to compensate all the years of bullshit that I had to hear from their mouth since EGS has been a thing on PC
Actually what I could agree with at this point is only an announcement of the closure of this turd that they call store
Allison has been GM of the EGS since the inception of it, so he's just another guy that actually was part of all of the shit they said and did in the last 5 years or so.

Not really. Hoyo have their own launcher for their games. I dare say most people play their games through that instead of the EGS so they can't really be called exclusive.
