For those against Epic and their forced exclusives

Epic claims to want to save PC gaming but instead only divide the market and divide PC gamers

The purpose of this group is NOT to hate on anyone who's using Epic Games Store, nor to harass them. We are simply taking stance against Epic's questionable and anti-consumer business practices.

We believe video games industry is strong, however... Epic Games seeks to fracture the market with exclusivity deals.

If you disagree with their practice of buying out games that were originally promised on Steam or GoG, feel free to join us.

What we offer:

Informational news from our curator page .
Weekly gaming news without clickbait (via our announcements).
A discussion area for discussing news in the games industry.

For group community related questions, general support and partnerships, visit #group-support channel at our Discord server.

P.S. We are NOT associated with r/fuckepic by any means.
