Neither do I really. I saw a comment the other day from someone complaining about them using exclusives to force people onto their platform, yet they are quite happy to use Steam which pretty much did exactly the same thing. You used to buy a game on disc and yet had to have a Steam account to play the game that was right their in it's entirety on the disc in you hand.
I don't understand all the Epic hate.

Yeah, ALL exclusives are annoying and just the concept of a "launcher" is so infuriating (but that Bethesda one was a special kind of glitch-ridden cancer!)
The only thing that makes me slightly prefer Steam is the fact I can go to the shop down the road and buy a gift card and that spares me having to hand over bank details.

Any an all misspellings are henceforth blamed on the cats.
...aaaand I "accidentally" just bought Aven Colony... yes it's a city builder. But futuristic/extraterrestrial!

Alas, it's still installing. The witcher 2 is done, though. Aven is just above 35% 
(I know it's a lot of gigs but it still seems to take ages...)

Yes, the endless installing of numerous Gigabytes on the shrinking space of my hard drive is another thing I don't like about PC gaming.
Even console games are like that these days. I remember hearing that recent Red Dead Redemption game was over 100GB!
PS: Correcting my typos is a massive job, you really shouldn't volunteer to do it.
