And being against them is centralising the market in Valve's hands, which is exactly what people feared would happen when they released Steam and started having games release exclusively on their platform.

They give a better share of sales to the devs and also guarantee revenues, which means some games would never have seen the light of day/some devs would have gone bankrupt without Epic supporting them.

So by not supporting them you're also sitting yourself in the foot.

Oh and by the way, Epic's free games are DRM free in the vast majority of cases... Guess that's a bad thing too for some reason?
