Can we have a frivolous lawsuit against Epic Games Store as well?

I mean, they pinky promised to take a lower cut so everyone (including customers) will benefit, but so far only the publishers got anything out of it and customers don't even get basic features in the EGS client.

Epic also tried (somewhat succeeded?) In bringing exclusivity to PC, a practice which should be banned.

Thankfully it wasn't a great success. Almost every time they were able to only get a time-limited exclusive.

Tens (hundreds?) of millions well spent! /s

Let be serious. If they suddenly switched to 15%, the games are going to be the same price. And the developers are not required to use them either. This is windows. Just take their ball to any of the other stores or start their own.

Didn't the overgrowth developer make half of a game, release it, then fuck off into the aether? Why are they doing anything? Much less badgering valve

Curious how this will do. It was already dismissed once and now it’s joined a different suit, wonder if they actually have any evidence this time
